Fashion Doll Barbie's 50th Birthday

1959

now?

Guess what?

It's Barbie's 50th birthday!

As a doll, Barbie has been through much accusations, law-suits, and controversies, even more than a real human-being; From sending the wrong signals to young girls on the nearly unnatural hourglass figure, to taking legal actions against Danish band, Aqua, for mocking at Barbie, to breaking up with her long-time boyfriend, Ken in 2000 - Barbie has indeed live it all.

This year, Barbie will be participating in her first-ever runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York on February 14, 2009. For the very first time, we will witness 50 world-renowned fashion designers come together and showcase real-size, Barbie®-inspired looks at Bryant Park. In this monumental fashion celebration designers will celebrate the past, present and future of fashion, as inspired by Barbie® doll, first launched in 1959 as the "Teenage Fashion Model™."

The Runway show will be webcast live via Barbie.com.

Barbie will be receiving a birthday gift (we heard it's pink Pumps) from Christian Louboutin.

Some of Barbie's designer wardrobe from the past include Bill Blass, Oscar De La Renta, Dior, Carolina Hererra, Vera Wang, Zac Posen, just to name a few.

In Singapore, we too had our very own "Doll Me Up" exhibition in 2005, that showcased a pool of local designers' (Federick Lee, Daniel Yam, Frances Cheong) interpretation of the doll, as well as students' entries on the contest.

The exhibition was first seen in the Singapore Art Museum and later in Changi Airport.

Screen Actors Guild Award 2009: Fashion Edition - Emancipation of new blood

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award 2009 had given out the bronze silhouette to some of the most highly-acclaimed actors in the Movie and TV industry.

Unlike the Grammy's, these celebrities dare to give other less red-carpet-exposed designers a go.

We love how Teri Hatcher donned herself in this pale origami gown by Monique Lhuillier. Also in a Lhuillier was Evan Rachel Wood who wore a teal, one-sided strap gown.

Mrs Tony Parker, looked stunning in this hot salmon chiffon number by Jenny Packham with gemstones sewn along the neckline.

Anne Hathaway may not have taken home the Best Actress award, but we love how her Grecian Goddess look came off the Red carpet. This white Azzaro gown with crystal embellishments complements the actress frame, hair and make-up impeccably.

Even Katrina Bowden was spotted in a Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano, sea-blue custom-made dress. Not exactly a fan of this design, but still it was a worthy try.

Some other stunning celebrities:

Freida Pinto donned a pale bluish purple Marchesa gown with a Roger Viver clutch and Martin Katz jewels, Emily Blunt in a silver sequin Pamela Roland gown, Evan Rachel Wood adorned a one shouldered Lhuillier teal gown with a bird brooch

Of course with all great events, there will always be some who will come dress in their "best", or so they think they were.

Sorry, Mrs Pitt, but we really think she look shapeless, boring and uninteresting in this midnight blue Max Azria gown. We can understand how much of a chore it is to dress up for an award show.

There's so much of a blue going on, this electric fish-tail dress looked so yesterday. The horizontal seamline that runs across the mid-thigh is just so unflattering and tacky, that we forget to look at Kate Winslet's beautiful décolleté.
