Haute Barbie.

As some of you may know, Barbie is turning 50 this year (on March 9, to be exact). Barbie's caught a lot of flack for reinforcing impossible ideals of beauty, yadda, yadda, yadda, but you can't deny she has become one of the most iconic characters in American pop culture.

I found out about the Poupee Barbie series created by Jocelyne Grivaud from fellow blogger and Barbie enthusiast, Margaux at Midge's Mind. Margaux creates incredible Barbie parts jewelry, and you can find her stuff at her Etsy shop. It's totally worth checking out!

Anyway, here are a few of Grivaud's pieces...
Man Ray...

Guy Bourdin...


Milton Glaser...



And here is a Barbie wearing Margaux Lange-designed jewelry. This Barbie went to Paris Fashion Week!
