Happy Birthday, Barbie

Barbie, the most famous doll on the planet, turns 65. The icon of popular culture was presented for the first time at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959 under the name Barbie Millicent Robbins.

Its creator, Ruth Handler, one of the founders of Mattel, had the idea of creating a doll that moved away from the concept of a baby toy, to which children were accustomed, but which was closer to that of a young woman : a blonde doll with a narrow waist and wearing the iconic black and white striped costume.

Since then it has never stopped being one of the most sought after objects by children and beyond. From a playmate for generations to a true style icon and beauty. Its introduction on the market and in society marked the beginning of a true revolution in the world of toys. Over the years, Barbie has helped promote the possibility for all girls to express themselves freely, over time she has overcome all types of inclusion, boys and girls all over the world have been able to recognize themselves in her and feel represented.

Over the years Barbie has undergone numerous changes, reflecting the aesthetic canons of fashion and society; she has worn the hats of different professions, from astronaut to doctor, to president and much more.
