The story of Barbie begins in 1959, when the American company Mattel launched the toy, which later became one of the most famous and popular dolls in the world.
Barbie’s creators, Ruth and Elliot Handler, got the inspiration for their project by watching their daughter Barbara play with paper dolls. They decided that there was a lack of a teenage doll on the market that could serve as a model for girls and inspire their dreams and ambitions.
Barbie became a symbol of fashion and culture of her time. During this time, various themed doll collections appeared, reflecting fashion trends and women's professions. Barbie became a fashion icon and inspiration for millions of girls around the world.
The label "I Can Be..." (was introduced for the Barbie collection to inspire girls to pursue their dreams and become anything from a doctor and a scientist to a pilot and an entrepreneur. The move emphasized the importance of gender equality and career options.
Mattel introduced a variety of physiques, looks and skin tones for Barbie dolls. The new series was called "Fashionista" and allowed girls to see themselves in a variety of looks that reflected the diversity of the real world. This was an important step towards creating a more inclusive and diverse line of dolls.
In honor of Barbie's 60th anniversary, Mattel released a series of Barbie Extra dolls. It included colorful and stylish images that emphasized the expression of individuality and uniqueness. Barbie Extra allowed girls to be bold and creative, emphasizing the importance of self-expression and encouraging them to accept themselves for who they are.
