Barbie Steals the Show at Divine Design 2009

Day one of Divine Design 09 kicked off with cocktails, live entertainment, fashion icons and tons of shopping. Project Angel Food honored the commitment of celebrities, corporate humanitarians, designers and philanthropists who have made a significant impact on behalf of people in need.
The marquee honoree was Barbie, who was crowned Divine Design's 2009 Fashion Icon.

The opening dinner’s showpiece was a Barbie extravaganza introduced by celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and produced by sponsor Mattel. The show included film clips from the 50-year-old doll’s appearence at New York Fashion Week in February as well as a live runway show of specially commissioned Barbie-pink fashions by students at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and mostly L.A.-based designers like BCBG, Max Azria, Tookata People, and Juicy Couture. Capacity crowds and higher ticket sales than ever before made for a magical and very successful fund-raising evening.
