The Show Love LG Fashion Week in Toronto got a kick start with the reveal of David Dixon's Fall 2009 Collection and Barbie Collection. Dixon's Barbie inspired collection comes after the reveal of designs by Michael Kors, Badgley Mischka and Vera Wang who were some of the designers picked to dress 50 models in Barbie inspired couture. The addition of the Barbie theme LG Fashion week was a nice touch at including a theme that has been prevalent in fashion weeks around the world as Barbie celebrates her 50th anniversary.
