In what appears to be the most exciting Barbie collaboration so far, the latest Barbie collection designed by Christian Louboutin has hit Net-A-Porter earlier this week. I was drooling once I saw the golden studded sandals worn by Cat Burglar Barbie.
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 three dolls, packaged in Louboutin shoe boxes, each come with four pairs of Barbie-size Louboutin heels. In December, Mattel will unveil Louboutin’s jewel thief-themed Barbie; in February, it will add a safari-themed Barbie, and for May, Louboutin designed a Barbie that goes to the Cannes Film Festival. The $150 dolls will be sold through BarbieCollector.com and at Net-a-porter.com, which is Mattel’s exclusive partner for this project and will be selling dolls for the first time. In September, both sites also will offer a Christian Louboutin Barbie shoe collection of 12 pairs for $40 a set (WWD).
The set comes with 4 gorgeous pairs for Barbie to switch around in. Being sold (ONLY) at $150, this limited edition Cat Burglar Barbie doll is already sold out online. The duo's book "My Year in Paris with Christian LeBoutin" reveals a super feminine and classic look designed for Miss Barbie by the Great Christian LeBoutin.
