The Designer's Doll - 09/01/2009

Despite her diminutive height of 11.5 inches, Barbie has one of the biggest wardrobes, designed by over 70 top name fashion designers, and has worn one billion pairs of shoes. All this and still a style icon at 50. Since she burst on to the fashion scene in New York in 1959, she has had the personal touches of Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta put on her sizable wardrobe. She has worn wedding gowns designed by Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera, and Christian Louboutin is designing a special pair of pink shoes for her. And Barbie knows her big brands too. She's been decked out by the likes of Ferrari (naturally, since she drives one) and cult make-up brand MAC. Here, VOGUE.COM takes a look at some of the designer looks that Barbie has sported since she stepped out in gold lame by Bob Mackie in 1990. CLICK HERE TO SEE BARBIE'S DESIGNER LOOKS
