Based at SHOWstudio.com's Mayfair HQ, Barbie will be: chasing London Fashion Week show tickets for herself and the fashion team, sitting in on SHOWstudio.com brainstorming sessions, assisting on shoots, making studio visits to artists and designers, as well as doing the coffee run to Starbucks. One of her first tasks is to help install The SHOWstudio.com Shop's latest exhibition 'In Wolves Clothing: Re-Imagining the Doll' which launches as part of Fashion's Night Out next week, and in which Barbie Video Girl features. 
Barbara Millicent Roberts - more famously known as Barbie - is a fashion doll and figurehead of Mattel. Since 1959 she has been recognised as the original teenage fashion model. In the past 50 years, she has established herself as one of the world's leading fashion icons. She's been dressed by the best, including: Prada, Burberry, Chanel, Roksanda Ilincic and Danielle Scutt; more than 100 million metres of fabric have gone into making her fabulous wardrobe and she has had over one billion pairs of gravity-defying shoes, most recently created by Christian Louboutin.
She first broke the plastic ceiling in the 60s when, as an astronaut, she went to space four years before man walked on the moon. In the 80s she took to the boardroom as 'Day to Night' CEO Barbie, just as women began to break into management. And in the 90s, she ran for President, before any female candidate ever made it onto the presidential ballot. This year, Barbie takes on several new careers, including: snowboarder, ballroom dancer and racecar driver. Her 126th career was recently announced as computer engineer, set to launch early 2011.
