This Valentine’s Day, Barbie will be the sweetheart of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as the star of an epic fashion event showcasing real-size, Barbie-inspired looks designed by 50 renowned fashion designers. The Feb. 14 runway show will feature the biggest names in fashion—all with a Barbie theme.

A dream team of stylists and artists will oversee hair, makeup, styling and the assembly of Barbie’s fabled accessories, ensuring that each model celebrates Barbie’s signature styles from throughout the decades from head to toe. Top makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury will partner with the Stila Pro Beauty Team – the official prestige Barbie beauty partner for 2009. Hair stylist to the stars Orlando Pita, sponsored by T3 – another Barbie beauty partner – will roll up and roll out styles from Barbie’s famous 1959 ponytail-and-bangs look to super-long, big curls and futuristic sculptural hairstyles.

“It’s an honor and pleasure to be part of this fashion show to celebrate the life of one of the greatest icons of our time,” said Ms. Tilbury.

The show is part of a yearlong, global celebration of Barbie’s 50th Anniversary.
