2010 is certainly Barbie’s year. After being kitted out in some killer LBDs by Asos, shoe master Christian Louboutin has designed a limited-edition collector's set of Barbies sporting red soles for Net-a-porter.com. Say hello to Dolly Forever (wearing fringed boots and a safari dress) and Anemone Barbie (in a lime satin floor-sweeper) who both come with not one but three pairs of lust-worthy Louboutins. Yes, we can still lust over them, even if they are in miniature.

There’s also Cat Burglar Barbie, who’s all leather catsuit and leopard-print thigh-high boots – these dolls aren’t for kids! Log on to Net-a-porter.com now to buy the über-collectable dolls for £100, or check out the fabulous video of Christian and Barbie’s fashion-filled adventure.

Asos has combined the two most powerful fashion forces known to mankind: Barbie and the little black dress. From ’60s mini to ’80s power shoulders, the little black dress has never looked… well, so little. Each dress can be personalised with stylish accessories such as gold chains, oversized sunnies or even a little lap dog. We know we’re meant to be grown-ups, but since when has a little black dress been something to toy over? PS Barbie Doll £30; Accessory Pack £15

Paul’s Boutique launched their Paul's Boutique Loves Barbie collection on Wednesday night, and if it's anything like last year’s collaboration these lust-worthy bags will sell out faster than you can say must-have! Paul’s Boutique were approached last year by Mattel to design a collection with Barbie to celebrate her 50th anniversary, and it was such a huge success they’re doing it again for 2010. This collection is limited edition and will only be available in selected stores – but they’re available to buy online at Paul’s Boutiquenow. Prices range from £30 to £80, so what are you waiting for? - KD
