BARBIE- The REAL factory girl ... cries for help

With the AW09 Anniversary collection for barbie clothes having been shown at Colette (featuring designs by Calvin Klein and DVF), and  Piers Atkinson's AW09 crazed-barbie headpiece range, it seems as though the timelessness of barbie never fails to inspire. I was totally obsessed with creating barbie fashion shows as a kid, using my Ariel The Little Mermaid doll to play the bulimic bullied outcast who is forced to take part in the show, but is eventually saved from near death by Ken who helps her regain confidence against all odds. In retrospect you would have thought I must have had issues or something, but actually I think it was just the effect of having a psychotherapist parent explaining these kinds of issues to me. All the same, I have fond memories of my selection of blondes, and toilet paper designs... so got very excited to find an online archive of vintage barbie creations dolls4play.com... I also love the fact they actually had a fashion designer barbie outfit, complete with portfolio and sketches- anyone who has watched clueless as many times as I have, will remember the scene with their electronic spinning wardrobe... satisfying

THE PLUGHOLE OF IDEAS

 IDEA 2:

I think Topshop should sell mail-order sets like this all mechanically devised by an online questionnaire to decipher exactly your individual style (so its completely personalized. It could arrive in a plastic top box with shoes and accessories attached to card with twisted wire.

All someone would need to do, is create a formula for the psychological associations people have to visual imagery by measuring their bodily responses while they are subject to a visual and sensory simulation test.

Maybe its a cry for help? Issues.
