The month of March will be very big for Barbie. She turns fifty and will have a massive celebration throughout New York. Fifty models will showcase fifty designs created especially for Barbie throughout the years and those same designs will be available for the Barbie dolls from select New York toy stores.
Famous designers such as Vera Wang are creating gowns and clothing lines for the Barbie-like models to wear. Wang will be creating a bridal gown that retail for $15,000 although you can buy a scaled down version for your Barbie doll at $150. The celebration will include many other designers although it not yet clear who they will be.
When Barbie arrived on the scene fifty years ago, the Barbie games she created were far different from the baby dolls that had dominated the scene before that point. Barbie was the beginning of a fashion doll revolution that has taken off and is not growing all over the world with the introduction of the Bratz dolls seven years ago and fantasy fashion dolls of many kinds from doll makers around the globe.
