LFW Autumn 2009: ‘Barbie’ All Dolled Up
24
Lakme Fashion Week started off with a show commemorating 50 years of Barbie. Several Indian designers had previously submitted their designs as to how they would dress the doll and the winning design would be then be worn by former model and now actress Katrina Kaif.
The show started off with Walushca Robinson in a pink Vikram Phadnis creation (already seen on Priyanka at the last LFW -see inside) and with models showcasing more outfits by various other designers. The winning design was Nishka Lulla’s, whose design was a tiered mini with a brocade bodice (as seen on Katrina). The best part of the show though was Waluscha’s daughter Chanel who while wearing a net gown designed by ‘The Shirt Company’ accompanied her mother on the ramp. So Awwwww.

katrina does look like a doll!
awww I love all these dresses! They stayed true to Barbie’s character with big, bold, fuffy dresses :) I reallly like the first row, and priyanka’s dress..they’re so big!
Jyoti Gupta’s design is actually very cute, something I could see on a celebrity.
Chanel is succcch a cutie :) Future model in the making!
Owwww…..
Katrina is such a doll…. :)
chanel is a cutie:)
chanel is so much like her mother!! carbon copy..
That winning Barbie dress is beyond ugly and it does not suit Katrina at all. Her shoulders are too broad for it.
Only the little girl looks cute.
Jyoti Gupta’s design looks a bit like the winner Juli’s design from Australia’s Project Runway. But I love the tiny pleating details in Jyoti’s design
Wow, Barbie…good ol’ days :)
Chanel is sooooo cute! And Waluscha really does like a princess…
For some reason I feel like Katrina is not doing justice to the dress.
i dont like the winning dress
and chanel is a cutie
Brilliant outfit by Nishka Lulla
Standing ovation for this one for sure !
the winning design is just soooooo devoid of imagination, style, class……..etc… is just ‘FUGLY’!!!!!
Katrina looks like a doll. and chanel is way too cute, look at her confidence.
ALl designs are ugly, but chanel is a sweetie pie..
Ditto@Carol. While Katrina’s face does justice, her wide shoulders and arms takes away the barbie feel to it.
Vikram Phadnis design is the best…coz its more barbie like
umm doesnt jyoti gupta’s design look like the one miley cyrus wore at the oscars????
i think its the angle of the picture thats making katrina’s body look weird..
however does priyanka look GOOD or what???!!!??
i wish priyanka and katrina had swapped dresses lol
chanel looks just like her mommy..awwww
well…Barbie would definitely wear these clothes…given her wardrobe decisions in the past ;)
Katrina doesnt justify the Barbie look at all. She looks too broad and almost much older though she probably isnt. I can only think of Sonam Kapoor who could have looked like Barbie. But definitely not in that ugly dress.
aww how cute!
Nishka Lulla’s dress is really cute, but Vikram Phadnis is more barbie-princessy like. i guess they gave it to nishka cuz her’s wasnt typical?
Abdul Haldar’s is terrible! why would you dress a doll – thats supposed to bring a smile to child’s face – in brown???
KATRINA LOOKS SOOO BAD OMG those bangs need to goo
i think nishka’s outfit is amazin! its different n innovativie beautiful n the most barbie-ish . its different n girlish n has the indian touch most importantly which the other outfits lacked considering its barbie in india. the colourr r vibrant while the cut is young
n the vikram phadnis outfit is a RIP OFF
