Barbie has been an icon for more than 55 years. It represents a source of inspiration for millions of children around the world. Whether it’s her always impeccable style or her versatility (should we mention her 180 different careers?), she is the indisputable number 1 doll. Mattel just announced a few days ago that it will radically change the face of the brand. How? By reflecting on Barbie a wider vision of beauty and by designing new figures featuring 3 new silhouettes, 7 different complexions, 22 eye colors and 24 hairstyles. We can’t wait to know them and, in the meantime, we’d like to take you back to the evolution of Barbie, from her birth to present-day.
