Barbie gets a makeover

Looks like Barbie is getting a high fashion (not to mention expensive) makeover.

Via PerezHilton: In honor of Barbie's 50th anniversary, Mattel is "introducing" the doll into the fashion industry.This month, Barbie and Ken will be on display at France's Colette boutique. But, making the occasion even more special, (the great) Karl Lagerfeld is dressing the dolls that will be displayed in the windows of the famed Paris boutique.The exhibit will start on March 9th and last through the 28th. They'll even be a whole week in March when the store will display the first ever Barbie and Ken dolls created. Barbie will be dressed by Lagerfeld in everything from dresses to swimsuits, jeans, and even a Chanel suit.

I wouldn't mind playing with those. They clothes alone probably cost more than my whole wardrobe combined. *sigh*

Brilliant.
