For Barbie’s 50th birthday, she received the best gift any woman could ever imagine (almost): a pair of Louboutins:) Mattel has teamed up with the illustrious shoe designer. The project includes the Barbie-pink, red-soled Louboutin shoes that premiered in Barbie’s birthday runway show during New York Fashion Week in February, a Barbie doll and accessories collection customized by the designer and a diary filled with images of Louboutin and Barbie as they explore the cobbler’s favorite things. The designer created three Barbie dolls: a jewel thief-themed Barbie, which will release in December, a safari-themed Barbie for February, and a Barbie that goes to the Cannes Film Festival for May.

The $150 dolls will be sold through BarbieCollector.com and at Net-a-porter.com. Both sites also will offer a Christian Louboutin Barbie shoe collection of 12 pairs for $40 a set. The diary, which comes with the jewel thief Barbie and is also sold separately for $40, is titled “My Year in Paris With Christian Louboutin.” Launching in December, it features photos of the doll shopping with Louboutin in his boutique, on a journey down the Nile, performing at the Moulin Rouge and in a cafe with a male doll that is decidedly not Ken.

Tokidoki’s latest product was made in the likeness of King Karl. It measures 10″ high, and features the designer in his typical uniform black suit and tie. It is limited to only 1000 and goes for €129. Look for it at Tokidoki locations in New York, Milan, Los Angeles, and at Colette.

So we all know that Barbie is celebrating her 50th birthday this year, which has so far been full of great projects and events commemorating her half-century run. One of the latest news is that they’ve gone and made a Barbie doll in the form of Heidi Klum, which will hit stores in September. The doll is part of the Blonde Ambition collection, which consists of other Barbies in the likeness of such iconic names as Marilyn Monroe and Goldie Hawn, and aims to pay tribute to famous blondes. I used to be a HUGE Barbie fan, and for some reason, I think I could still play around with these on a quiet afternoon:)
