To celebrate her 50th birthday in style next year, Mattel Inc. has enlisted Christian Louboutin to design a special pair of pumps for Barbie.

Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes.” The shoes will be made in the renowned Barbie Pantone 219 Pink and will be unveiled at Mattel’s runway show during New York Fashion Week in February.

Mattel has also enlisted 50 yet-to-be-named designers to create Barbie-inspired outfits for the show.

Lussorian informs us that L’Wren has teamed up with shoe designer to the stars, Christian Louboutin, to create a collection of timeless pumps!

This distinctive pump highlights the designer’s leg-lengthening style by adding a 100mm heel. The exceptional crocodile skin’s smooth finish in black is enhanced by Christian Louboutin’s red leather soles. A covered front buckle completes this elegant statement.
