Watch Out Barbie! Hello Kitty is on the prowl. This fashion week's theme is all about Barbie, in honor of her 50th Birthday she is getting her very own runway show in Bryant Park on February 14, 2009. However, this past Thursday night MAC decided to give Hello Kitty a run for her money by throwing a fashion party featuring Hello Kitty inspired fashion looks from another group of designers. Both are definitely iconic symbols for most females around the globe, but who's gonna inspire the best style?
