America's favourite doll turns the ripe old age of 50 next year, and to celebrate Christian Louboutin is designing a pair of pumps in Barbie's honour.

The pumps will be Barbie Pantone 219 Pink, Barbie's iconic pink, and will appear with every outfit in a secret fashion show staged by Mattel during New York Fashion Week in February 2009:

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."

I certainly will be looking for these on future barbie dolls as a avid collector of barbies for almost 31 years they deserve
