Barbie is celebrating an important birthday this year as she turns the big 5 0. She looks good for it, doesn't she? To mark the occasion there will be a show at New York fashion week. The catwalk presentation will bring together the work of 50 designers who will create life-sized outfits inspired by the 11.5 inch doll.

Design houses such as Givenchy, Dior and Oscar de la Renta have been working hard [1] for the show so expect some very classy ensembles.

Vera Wang and Jeremy Scott have also been working [2] on the project. Vera has created a wedding dress for both women and Barbie. Jeremy, on the other hand, has created a high-end capsule wardrobe.
