Designers from all over the world are descending on Mexico City for the city’s Fashion Week, as are celebrities. But might the biggest celebrity at the event be…Barbie? Mexico’s top designers are apparently dressing her for the occasion, reports Mexico City blog DFinitivo. Just what Mexican girls need, another uberthin blonde role model:

This time, and for the first time, a collection of clothing for women by renowned Mexican designer Héctor Terrones, inspired by the world’s most famous doll. Additionally, Terrones created an exclusive collection of 10 dolls which project the essence and style of the famous creative mind.

“For me Barbie is the most important doll in the world and she’s the dream of so many girls as well as designers. It’s a pleasure for me to design for Barbie, since I specialize in dressing celebrities,” said Terrones.

“The most important doll in the world” really isn’t saying much. It’s a doll. But that’s not all. Apparently la Barbie also got the royal treatment when it came to her hair, which was styled by “Lety Álvarez, Presidenta de la Haute Coiffure en México”, according to DFinitivo. We non-latex women can only dream of such things.

Interestingly enough, Barbie’s relationship with Mexico isn’t all glamor and love. Let me remind you that back in 2005 Mexican sweatshops were responsible the plastic diva’s wardrobe.
