In March 2009 for her 5oth anniversary, Barbie had a whole collection designed by the Kaiser himself, Karl Lagerfeld whom also attended the celebration of the first 50 years of her career.
The landmark fashion doll and cultural icon launched in 1959 celebrated her 50 years as the most famous doll in the world. She has been far more than a valued toy or a collector’s item, she has followed trends and set them for the past 5 decades. As a tribute to her long career Karl Lagerfeld designed fancy little outfits for the icon which were sold in the Colette shop in Paris from March 9-28 2009. As a special tribute a fashionshow was held at New York Fashion Week in February 2009 with 50 designers participating.
