it's gunna be a PINK valentine's

so i wrote a post a while back about Christian Louboutin desinging a special pair of pumps (in "Barbie Pantone 219 Pink")for a Barbie 50th Birthday runway show (which EVERY model will be wearing btw). now i just got a sneak at the 50 other designers participating in the showcase, and wowww. a BUNCH of my tops are there. i must admit that i'm a little upset they didn't enlist Marc Jacobs though, he would've done awesome.

alphabetically: Anna Sui, Baby Phat, Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, Bob Mackie, Brian Reyes, Calvin Klein, Carmen Marc Valvo, Catherine Malandrino, Chris Benz, Costello Tagliapietra, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Erin Fetherston, House of Field, Jeremy Scott, Juicy Couture, Kai Kuhne, Kenneth Cole, Koi Suwannagate, Lyn Devon, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Monique Lhuillier, Naeem Khan, Nanette Lepore, Nicole Miller, Norma Kamali, Peter Som, Rachel Roy, Rag & Bone, Rebecca Taylor, Reem Acra, Robert Best, Rosa Cha, The Blonds, Three As Four, Tibi, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, Tracy Reese, Trina Turk, Tuleh, Twinkle, Vena Cava, Vera Wang, Vivienne Tam, Yeohlee, Yigal Azrouel

particularly excited to see what DvF and Vera have to offer.

and what an opportune time to exploit the color pink, by having the show held on valentine's day during NY Fashion Week! i'd kill to be there!

p.s. keep an eye out for all other "pink carpet" events throughout the year (eg Bloomingdales, Stila via Sephora, Dylan's Candy Bar), as Barbie celebrates around the world.
