Lady Gaga Barbies

Some people have way too much time on their hands...

Veik, a 29-year-old doll "player" from Beijing, has been giving Barbie a gaga-fied makeover.  Not only does he recreate some of Lady Gaga's most notable outfits, but he's even styling them after some of Lady Gaga's most memorable hairstyles. Veik, you should put in your resume with Mattel. Take a look below!

Bergdorf Goodman Wants You To Know The Secrets Behind Chanel

 

If you missed it over the weekend- the second floor at Bergdorf Goodman will feature "Secrets of the Chanel Jacket," an installation of archive jackets, handbags and accessories! "The exhibit tells the story of Mademoiselle Chanel's iconic creations, outlining the label's evolution from fluid jersey designs, to tweed and button and gold chain detailing." The installation aims to reveal the history behind the brand and draw a deeper connection between Coco and the way Karl Lagerfeld has beautifully expanded on her vision. 

On display will be a photo exhibit of Coco Chanel, Vanessa Paradis, Romy Schneider, Anna Mouglalis and Barbie wearing the Chanel jacket, in addition to archive selections of shoes and handbags from Coco Chanel's personal collection. Visitors can also get a glimpse of the original 1957 two toned slingback heel in beige and black. 

If interested, head on over there today because the exhibit ends This evening (October 19th).  Also through October 19, three of the department store's windows will house a Chanel tribute with oversized iconic items like the Chanel No. 5 bottle and the quilted jacket.

Christian Louboutin x Barbie

 

We all shrugged (and laughed) when we heard Louboutin refer to barbie's ankles as "fat."But according to new evidence, if Barbie were human, she'd also go on jewelry heists with Christian Louboutin. You didn't think he'd be content with just putting his name on the box for this collab, did you? Especially when he had Mattel re-shape her feet & ankles!  To make up for his statament Louboutin created a hilariously insane photo book chronicling his adventures with Barbie. The Jewel heist is one of the best. 

The photo book also chronicles Louboutin shopping in Paris with Barbie, crashing Barbie's photoshoots, and even catching Barbie at a cafe with another guy.

The photo diary can be purchased for $40.00 or as a gift with purchase of the Jewel Thief Barbie ($150) in December. The other dolls are a safari-themed Barbie and a Barbie who is going to Cannes Film Festival. Each of the three dolls comes with four pairs of Barbie-sized Louboutins- how fab!

Does Barbie Have Cankles? Ask Louboutin

 

Christian Louboutin is the latest designer to create a Barbie design. But this isn't just another signature/collaborative collection, Louboutin is actually reshaping Barbie's feet! "He found her ankles were too fat," said a Louboutin spokeswoman. 

There will be a total of three Louboutin Barbies, who will come with mini Louboutin boxes for the doll's shoes! This is sounding more like a gift to the fashionistas of the world vs. your darling kid sis...
