Aw, doesn’t she still look amazing at 50?! Barbie has a special place in my heart and I’m sure in many of your hearts as well. We’ve all grown up from our adolescent years but no matter how grown we may seem, she will always be that little doll that we all lived our dreams through. As the only girl in the family, my only true friend was a small doll who lived in my drawer (I wasn’t fortunate enough to get a barbie house, I had to improvise! lol). Thank you Barbie for being my special confidant and Happy 50th Birthday!

“To celebrate her 50th , Mattel UK has partnered with LA-based Jeremy Scott to produce a clothing collection inspired by Barbie which will have an exclusive debut at Colette on March 12th during Paris fashion week. Other new partnerships include a 3 year partnership starting in February with CFDA and also sponsoring IMG’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in NYC. Also in January House of Barbie opens in Shanghai, 35,000 sq ft , 8 floors, including a spa, runway and restaurants.”
