What do Barbie and Christian Louboutin share? Apart from their love for fashion, of course - they share a soft spot in every girl's heart. Could there be a collaboration of two
girlier pleasures? I think not. Mattel has signed
Louboutin on for a yearlong project in which he will design some fabulous items for Barbie's ever-expanding wardrobe, create a pair of
life size Barbie-pink
Louboutin shoes (first seen on the runway at Barbie's birthday show during
NYFW in February) and fashion a diary documenting Barbie and
Louboutin dabbling in his favourite past times (not quite sure where the robbery scene falls into here but my guess is that they just wanted to see Barbie in a sleek, skin tight cat-woman jumpsuit). A string of themed Barbies - including
burglary Barbie - will be trickling out throughout the year each with their own Barbie-sized
Louboutin heels and packaged in
Louboutin shoe boxes.
Now why didn't they make these sorts of things when I was five-years-old?
