Fashion and Design World Today

As a child, I used to play with a set of Barbie Dolls that came with dresses my very own grandmother used to make. And her shoes were all bought for less than a dollar each.

Today, though, kids can play Barbie Dolls donning their own designer wardrobe as Barbie makers team up with fashion designer Christian Louboutin to launch a line of Barbie collectible wardrobe.

The first line, which can be purchased at Net-A-Porter, was released before Christmas and it was no surprise doll and outfit set was sold out within the day it was released. The set, with had Barbie wearing a black tight cat burglar-inspired outfit included four red-soled Louboutin shoes, including boots, a show box and bag. The set was sold for $150.

This week, the second line of Barbie & Louboutin has been announced and will be sold until March:

This set is more safari inspired and carries the famous knee-high fringed pink boots from the brand. I actually recognize this shoes as celebrities have been seen wearing it.

If you have a budding fashionista who loves Barbie Dolls, or you collect one for yourself, this would be a great addition.
