Barbie Dolls: Timeless Beauty

Barbie Doll
Katrina Kaif had this to say about Barbie, "I am grateful to be bestowed with this honour of being the first ever Indian Celebrity for whom a doll will be made in my likeness. This is a very special moment for me personally as I have always loved Barbie ever since I was a little girl. Barbie is the ultimate fashion icon and is the most popular doll in the world, I am very excited about this association since it’s the ideal fashion statement for any Fashionista.

She is every young girl’s fashion icon, what with that blonde ponytail, sleek clothes and snappy heels. She came on the scene and took the toy world by storm. Now years later, she is still going strong. Books have been written about her, films were made with her as the star, cars and motor homes have her name on them, in fact, she even has a painting by Andy Warhol to boot, and that’s the story of the inscrutable Barbie doll.

In her five decades, Barbie and her many friends have pioneered career choices. And it’s not just kids, who love Barbie. Her audience has grown to include adults, both men and women, particularly in the past two decades.

So what is it about Barbie that has captured the hearts of girls and collectors the world over?
