Well, I had the chance to preview the one-of-a-kind designer dolls last night at Openhouse Gallery. The Kir Royale cocktails were flowing, the hors d&#8217;oeuvres were being passed and I got a chance to catch up with some of my favorite fashion bloggers. Then came the unveiling. Oh boy! If only I could have Barbie&#8217;s one-of-a-kind outfits for myself! The looks were everything you&#8217;d expect \u2013 and more! All of the dolls were styled amazingly, but my faves had to be the <strong>Betsey Johnson Barbie<\/strong> with the wide sheer skirt, the <strong>Devi Kroell Barbie<\/strong> with mirrored pants and an &#8216;exotic&#8217; handbag, the <strong>Lorraine Schwartz Barbie<\/strong> with $10,000 of real diamonds on it, and the <strong>Subversive Barbie<\/strong> with a chunky, layered pearl necklace! Icing on the cake \u2013 designer Justin Giunta (Subversive) was there and told me about his inspiration for accessorizing Barbie, his jewelry line and his upcoming jewelry collaboration with <strong>Tory Burch<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, all of the dolls were nothing short of fabulous! And as promised, bidding has begun on the dolls so if you want to get your hands on these one-of-a-kind designer dolls, whip out your credit cards and snap up one \u2013 or a few!
