We've been hearing intriguing rumors about a "Barbie fashion show" since September, and now: Details! It seems, in honor of Barbie's big 5-0, Mattel's wrangling a heap of life-sized designers — mentioned so far: Jeremy Scott and Vera Wang — to create people clothes "that reflect the world of Barbie" for a show at New York's fashion week in February. And if that sounds ominous, wait until you hear about the Barbie makeup line. All this swag will be available at Shanghai's "House of Barbie flagship store" where, says Mattel, women can "nibble on truffles, smear on pink-tinted mud masks and shop for clothes for themselves and their dolls." We have nothing to add to that. [ElleUK]
