Nobody Does The LBD Better Than Barbie

By Samantha

As good as you thought you looked last night in your hot LBD, you are no match for what Barbie has in store.

The Barbie Basics collection has just launched, featuring 12 sensational dolls with their very own little black dress silhouette. Within the collection lies a variety of hairstyles, facial features and skin tones, which will thrill Barbie fans of all backgrounds. Fashion mavens can customize their dolls to represent their own personal style with accessory packs, which include shoes, scarves and jewels. Ladies, now’s the time to get creative. Style a Barbie to mirror your fashion sense and change her look depending on your mood. From the savvy sophisticate to the glam goddess, Barbie can be it all. She just needs your help pulling her looks together and making sure her shoes stay on.

For the Barbie Basics collection, 12 fantastic CFDA designers created one-of-a-kind dolls with their personal design aesthetic in mind. Designers like Tory Burch, Betsey Johnson, Rachel Roy, Monica Botkier, Isaac Mizrahi and more were tapped to be a part of this exciting project. From January 28th through February 7th, these dolls will be auctioned off on eBay, with all proceeds benefiting CFDA education initiatives and scholarship program. The opening bid is $100, but Barbie fanatics out there know that the price will surely rise quickly for these collectibles.

Follow Barbie on Twitter at @BarbieStyle for updates. There is something to love about Barbie going back to the Basics, showing everyone just how fabulous a simple LBD can be.
