Barbie goes to Fashion Week

Taking their cue from the Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, Indian designers opened the autumn/ winter installment of the Lakme Fashion Week with a Barbie fashion show.

The world’s most celebrated and fashion-conscious doll celebrates her 50th anniversary this year and American designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole and Vera Wang showcased a host of Barbie-inspired designs on the runways of New York.

Not to be outdone, our very own Indian designers including Vikram Phadnis, Wendell Rodricks and Neeta Lulla, in association with Mattel Toys put up a smashing show with their own Barbie creations on the catwalk of Lakme. Check it out!

From the opening coated apsarette jeans teamed with a jewelled chain bra, the show was set for some high voltage fashion action. Denim hot pants with gold coins, pencil skirts with apsara chains, wrinkled skinny apsarette jeans, a denim jacket lavished with thousands of jet Swarovski stones, a coated overlap denim jacket, a denim blue mini shirt dress – were all great formal wear denim ideas.

The finale was the denim bride in bleached white jeans covered with jewelled chains and crystals worn by the new darling of the Bollywood screen, Sonam Kapoor.
