“We're bringing the entire idea of Barbie alive – how she eats, how she decorates, how she lives, and certainly how she entertains,” said Colin Cowie. “Barbie is a great client – she has great style, she loves the details, she enjoys her bling and she has tons of amazing imagery for inspiration – you'll see lots of pink, shine, her famed black-and-white zebra print and always a few Barbie surprises.”
After Malibu, the Barbie Dream House travels to The Palms in Las Vegas, where The Palms' Hot Pink Suite will be transformed into the Barbie Suite, opening in May 2009. The suite will include several of the Malibu Dream House's key décor pieces and Jonathan Adler's signature style, allowing girls of all ages to experience the fantasy and fun of Barbie's Dream House.
Barbie celebrations are taking place all around the globe, including events in all major fashion capitals and with world-renowned partners. In Paris, Barbie and one of the trendiest stores in the world, colette, come together, to launch a special Barbie boutique featuring apparel and accessories for “grown up” Barbie girls, an exhibit of Barbie doll photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and a display of vintage dolls. In Italy, a customized, Barbie pink FIAT car is being created and famed retailer La Rinascente will have a huge birthday party for celebrities, models, media and VIPs. In the UK, Hamley's will countdown to the birthday with the largest projection screen ever seen in the UK to unveil a holographic movie of Barbie past and present.
In Australia, a 6-foot tall birthday cake based on a Barbie Rootstein mannequin will deck the First Fleet Steps in Sydney and be dazzled by a celebrity dress designer, hairstylist, jeweler and celebrity cake cutter. In Mexico City, Mexico, the Franz Meyer Museum will host a Barbie expo with over 200 archived dolls and artifacts, and in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Barbie Museu Encantado will showcase 50 incredible collector dolls to celebrate Barbie doll's 50 years. In Tokyo, Japan, an event will take place at the Imperial Hotel, the hotel where the designers of the original Barbie doll stayed while creating the doll in the late 1950s.
