Some Designers Really Hate "Fat" Women (Like Barbie!?!)

nospam@example.com ()

It’s all about change in the fashion world right now—designers are livestreaming their runway shows (or trying anyway), shoppers can snap up fall Chloe bags on their iPhones, and magazines like Glamour and Marie Claire are making an effort to include plus-size women in their formerly stick-thin pages. But not everyone is down with the plan, and design legends Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Louboutin seem to be the most conscientious objectors, today anyway.

When asked what he thought about German magazine Brigitte‘s decision to ban thin models from its pages, Old Looselips Lagerfeld quipped, “No one wants to see curvy women. You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying thin models are ugly.” He deems the whole practice “absurd.”

If you think that’s offensive, check out shoe guru Louboutin...

The Beauty Biz’s New Diversity

This week has been a banner one for the beauty industry. While Barbie has had friends of various ethnicities over her long existence, up to this point the blond and blue-eyed Caucasian doll has been the center of the franchise. But on Tuesday, Mattel launched the

Liv dolls: The non-skanky, “imperfect” dolls we’d actually buy for our kids

The Barbie vs. Bratz war died earlier this year, when Mattel ate up the Bratz enterprise along with their bare midriffs. Toy company Spin Master has just introduced the "Liv Dolls" which are supposed to look more like real girls than either of its predecessors and come with changeable wigs…

Biology of the Baby Doll

A breastfeeding baby doll!!! The title alone is insane. I was never one for baby dolls when I was little, I preferred Barbie and updating her clost regularly and playing with outfit ideas. Poor Ken only had 1 outfit + the one he came with in his pink box. He was the most inactive and brain…

Would You Stay In A Five-Star Barbie Hotel Room?

If you grew up thinking one day you'd get to live in your own real-life Barbie dream house, the Palms hotel in Las Vegas is giving you the chance to at least spend the night in one. In celebration of Barbie's birthday, the girl has her own luxury suite (decked out in hot pink, obvi) designed by celebudecorator Jonathan Adler. There are Barbie pillows on the couch, Barbie prints on the walls, and a (kinda creepy) mirror surrounded by 1959 Black & White Bathing Suit Barbies. But living in this Barbie world will cost you a pretty penny: one night in this 2,350 square foot hotel room will run you $4,000—and sadly does not include a hot pink convertible for cruising the strip.

Chaos at the Barbie 50th Anniversary Show

I had been looking forward to the Barbie runway presentation since I first heard about it back in November. Unfortunately, as I made my way out of the Andy & Debb show, which took place right before the Barbie show, I saw chaos already building. It was only 2pm, but dozens of people had already…

User post: Barbie Versus Motherhood

I never liked playing with baby dolls as a child. As many of my friends embraced pretending to be a mommy, or even playing dress-up, I was disinterested. My mother stayed home, as did most of my friend's mothers, and she was wonderful and I respected her (and still do). However, these games…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you probably know that the Barbie doll turned fifty this month. Now, if you read this column…
