Christian to Create Barbie Heels in 2009

So much news from the Louboutin world these past few days! We'll start with the first, and perhaps most important: Christian will be designing shoes for Barbie as part of her Fashion Week runway show and the general resurgence of the brand. (Did you know that Shanghai just got a whole Barbie store?) Anyways, as always WWD has the goods on the collaboration:
Christian Louboutin is designing pumps in iconic Barbie Pantone 219 Pink, which will make their debut at the special runway show that Mattel Inc. is staging during New York Fashion Week next February. 

Fifty as-yet-undisclosed designers will produce Barbie-inspired outfits for the runway, and each of the 50 models will be wearing the pink Louboutins at the show.

"I guess I always had a little 'girlie side' who liked Barbie," Louboutin said. "Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes." 
Now, how do we get our names on the list for both the show and the shoes? February is coming up soon...those other designer names should be released any day now.
