Louboutin’s Barbie
Daily News | Emily O'Brien | October 12, 2009
Christian Louboutin is the latest designer set to makeover the most famous girl in the plastic world – Barbie.
The legendary shoe designer – who recently directed a short film to promote his new Hollywood store – has designed three dolls to be released over the coming months.
Not content with Barbie’s current contours, Louboutin has even reshaped the dolls figures because, get this, she’s too fat. She is 50, remember, Louboutin.
“He found her ankles were too fat,” a Louboutin spokeswoman told WWD, who also revealed one of the dolls would be released in time for the Cannes International Film Festival.
Great, so now we’re getting a complex about our ankles, too.
“They’re completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes,” she said.
With Dita as Louboutin’s muse, we wonder whether we’ll see a buxom 40’s Burlesque Barbie?
“‘If Barbie wants to divert attention away from her ankles, she should avoid booties or anything with ankle straps,’ he says. ‘However, any girl – plastic or not – would be mad not to take advice from Mr. Louboutin.’”
So…if Christian Louboutin tells you to starve yourself so you can look like an African orphan with AIDS, and you protest against it, you’re “mad” for not taking his “advice”? This is what I HATE about the fashion industry. They’re all a bunch of sheep. They put successful designers on some god-like pedestal. They haven’t any backbone. Yeah, well, I’m never taking the advice of a designer like the gospel truth, and I don’t care if I’m “mad” for it. I’m no jellyfish, all those pretentious, self-absorbed designers can go FUCK THEMSELVES!!!
Barbie and Louboutin are releasing a very limited edition Christian Louboutin designed Barbie Doll complete with four pairs of Christian Louboutin designed shoes with miniature shoe boxes and cloth shoe bags! I am so jealous of Barbie right now, I only have 3 pairs of Louboutins. I’m going to sell a kidney so I can have another pair!! – xoxo Heather O.
