For some, February 14th is the day devoted to showing your love some love. But for the fashion world, it's Barbie's 50th Anniversary Runway Show under the Tents at Bryant Park! The Barbie doll has been so much more than just a toy; it's a fashion icon and an expanded brand. So it only makes sense that on the 14th, 50 world-renowned designers will come together to show off Barbie-inspired looks. And don't worry if you can't get under the Tents, there will be a live webcast on Barbie.com!

Barbie/Bulgari jewels and gownIn homage to Barbie's 50th, fashion brand, Bulgari, has created a collection of one-of-a-kind precious jewels and accessories that will be presented during the Barbie Fashion Show on February 14th in New York City. In turn, Barbie is helping Bulgari celebrate their 125th anniversary by providing support for the Save the Children “Rewrite the Future” campaign, aimed at ensuring quality education for 8 million children who live in war-torn countries. Bulgari has pledged to raise 10 million Euro partially through the sale of the Bulgari Save The Children ring. You can do your part by purchasing the limited edition ring, here.
