Where: New York Times, Fashion & Style Section
It’s true. Expect Hello Kitty and Barbie to make appearances at New York Fashion Week this month. And you thought models were unrealistic — at least they are real.

Does this mean we are relying on dolls to push beauty boundries at fashion events? Sigh. This brief but entertaining article by Eric Wilson shares arguments regarding which doll, Hello Kitty or Barbie, is more fashionable.
