Toronto: Barbie by David Dixon Spring 2010

“Banish the black, burn the blue and bury the beige. Think pink!” sang Kay Thompson in the video introduction to the Barbie by David Dixon show. Apt lyrics for a collection inspired by both the 1957 movie Funny Face and the Barbie doll. With the runway alit with a rosy glow, models with long, bouncy locks and pink-hued lips debuted classic pieces in feminine fabrics and cuts. A polka-dot sundress, a high-voltage magenta skirt, a pintucked day coat and a sequin-sprayed jacket were standouts. This season’s Barbie girl even looked grown up enough to be called Barbara.
