Little girls will be asking for their own pair of Louboutins after playing dress-up with the limited edition ‘Dolly Forever’ doll. The collab doll between Barbie and Christian Louboutin includes four red-soled Louboutins, each with their own shoe box and bag. And the boots. Of course. [Net-a-Porter via Fashionista]

Doll “player” Veik would surely win any contest for “Dress your Barbie as Lady Gaga.” The intricate costumes include Jean Charles de Castelbajac’s Kermit coat and Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and “Bad Romance” outfits–there’s even a DIY for the mini McQueen anteater shoes! [Refinery 29, Veik Flickr]

Coco Rocha will be doing fashion commentary for the home crowd at this year’s Grammy Awards. Rocha will be working the red carpet for ET Canada. No telling yet whether she’s a Joan Rivers or a Ryan Seacrest. [Oh So Coco]

“Banish the black, burn the blue and bury the beige. Think pink!” sang Kay Thompson in the video introduction to the Barbie by David Dixon show. Apt lyrics for a collection inspired by both the 1957 movie Funny Face and the Barbie doll. With the runway alit with a rosy glow, models with long, bouncy locks and pink-hued lips debuted classic pieces in feminine fabrics and cuts. A polka-dot sundress, a high-voltage magenta skirt, a pintucked day coat and a sequin-sprayed jacket were standouts. This season’s Barbie girl even looked grown up enough to be called Barbara.

From gold-plated with sapphire crystals to the diamond-encrusted flip phone, the flashiest phone to ever be flipped seems to have arrived. [The Cut]

Rev up your air-kissers: Fashion Week officially got underway with the Holt Renfrew media cocktail party.  Upon arrival we took the escalators up to the newly-facelifted third floor–contemporary never looked so chic.  The walls have literally been brought down to reveal an au courant open-concept floor plan that highlights many of the lust-worthy labels that even those struck by this downward dog economy still covet.
