Featuring uber-designers like Dior, Versace, Oscar de la Renta and Givenchy, Barbie’s wardrobe takes some beating and it’s about to get even more glamorous. To mark the 11 1/2-inch style icon’s 50th birthday, the doll’s manufacturer have decided to max-out on luxury fashion with a series of events and partnerships. First up will be a full-scale Barbie fashion show (to be staged during New York Fashion Week in February) with 50 designers creating life-sized outfits inspired by the doll. Christian Louboutin has confirmed that he will be designing pink pumps and Wang has put her genius into the designing of a Barbie wedding gown, with a sale price expected to exceed US$15,000. 2009 will also see the launch of a range of Barbie beauty products, so watch out for ‘Plastic Smooth’ skincare and ‘All Doll’d Up’ cosmetics. If only turning 50 were as fabulous for us mere mortals…

Ooh la la Moss… Versace’s new ad campaign starring the lovely Kate (and Gisele) shows some serious airbrush action. Croydon’s best export is barely recognisable - especially in the middle shot - don’t ya think?!
