Barbie's life-size stand-ins wore a gold gown by Ralph Lauren, an outrageous green party dress by Betsey Johnson and a hot-pink wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg.
Carmen Marc Valvo's life-size Barbie dress was a frothy black strapless cocktail dress with pleats, worn with hot-pink Christian Louboutin shoes.
Nicole Miller's checkerboard trapeze dress and swing coat is the third outfit she has done for Barbie, filling a childhood void from a time when her French-born mother wouldn't let her have one of the dolls.
The show closed with a series of futuristic dresses.
Many of the Barbie styles are headed straight for Bloomingdale's flagship store - but they'll be on display, not for sale.
