Shoe designer Christian Louboutin teamed up with Barbie to create a collection for the doll - My Year in Paris. Christian Louboutin gave Barbie doll a complete makeover on her 50th anniversary. He not only designed shoes for her but also revamped her whole wardrobe.
.
My Year in Paris with Christian Louboutin will see three different Barbie - the jewel thief-themed Barbie (to be launched in December 2009, safari-themed Barbie (to be launched in February 2010), and Cannes Film Festival Barbie,(in May 2010). Louboutin's Barbie will be available at the price of US$120 for a set. All the three dolls will be packaged in Louboutin shoe boxes, which will be accompanied by four pairs of Barbie-sized Louboutin heels. Thousands of women would die to get a Louboutin pair, but here's our lucky Barbie who's wearing them (and not one but four pairs in each set!!!!).
.
As part of the collection an album will be published, for which a whole city was created for Barbie, and not just any city but City of Paris. The images include beautiful pictures of Paris and a gorgeous doll-girl wearing Louboutin shoes and perfect clothing.

Sure the pictures look good and the idea is interesting, but creating Louboutin clad Barbies for little kids sounds too materialistic. They're just small kids, wanting to play with their dolls, what do they understand about designer mania. And why make them understand at such small age? Hoity-toity women would be happy to but these Barbie for their kids. But honestly, spare the kids of these materialisms.
Instead of roping in Mr. Louboutin, some other publicity stunt, that would have benefitted society too, would have been a better idea.
