New York Fashion Week Barbie Show

 

Backstage at the New York Fashion Week after the Barbie fashion show. The jacket I’m wearing is LAMB by Gwen Stefani and the boots are from Hobbs, London.

I have left the tents and the New York Fashion Week for the day but I’m still blown away by the Barbie fashion show. 

Over 50 American designers created their interpretation of a Barbie doll outfit and showed it at the fashion show during the NYFW on Valentine’s Day. From Nanette Lepore, Nicole Miller, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, Diane Von Furstenberg and many others viewed the clothes of the "global fashion icon" with their eyes.
