One of the shows I was excited to see this fashion week was Barbie's 50th Anniversary Show. Barbie was one of my cherished childhood toys and seeing the evolution of her style and look is very inspiring. This show featured 50 designers' takes on Barbie fashion through the years including: Diane Von Furstenberg, Lela Rose, Peter Som, and Nicole Miller.
The fashion was quirky, flirty, pretty, and had shiny embellishments, just like Barbie would wear :) There were even a few dresses that would be super awesome as bridal gowns.
A very pretty gown with lace detailing, black gloves, and a pink Christian Louboutin shoe peeping out.
The flowing fabric on the skirt looks so pretty on the runway, imagine your groom's thoughts when he sees you walking down the aisle in something so fashion forward and romantic.
LA based jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino was at the show. She carries a collection of Barbie jewelry for her line. The jewelry would be perfect accessories for the dresses on the runway and for the Barbie loving bride.
There were some pink dresses that would be super cute on bridesmaids. I love the ruffle looking, butterfly details in this dress.
And you gotta love a dress with tiers.
Lucite bracelet and pendant necklace add sparkle to the above ensembles. These pieces are super cute and super flirty.
Designers also came out with beautiful black dresses. The silver embellishments made the dress pop.
Here is another gorgeous black dress with silver embellishments. I love the retro style and the pink shoes!
This set of necklace and earrings would top the black dresses perfectly.
Of course you can't forget your Ken. Love that bow tie!
The show was a true Barbie dreamland: great and unique fashion, super cute shoes, and lots of pink. It brought back memories of playing dolls and pink everywhere. I'm glad the show produced so many gorgeous pieces.
Are you using any nostalgic themes as inspiration for your wedding? Has Barbie made an influence in your life?
