After 5o years the Barbie Doll has became the most famous and popular doll in the wide world. Barbie first came out in the 1959 and it has continued to grow and develop new concepts and traditions.




The first Barbie came out in 60's, it had sleek hair and multi coloured clothes from the mod era. The Barbie went from elegant to twistin and turing. After that it set a new generation for the doll.




After the 60's the Barbie took new turns for the 70's doll. Barbie was now a Mailbu Barbie, it helped girls imagine a fun life under the sun. From tanning, white pearly teeth and straight blonde hair and pink sun glasses. The doll went under many changes before it came out.




In the 80's Barbie had a big style for fashion. She was big, and bold and even bodacious. She always during this time she rocked shoulder pads. She also came out with a band Barbie and The Rockers.




In the 90's barbie took the less is more approach. Her figure became more neater, she wore more neutral colours, and however her closet was will with many design labels such as Donna Karan,Christian Doir and Ralph Lauren.



Today's Barbie has became a little girl's fashion icon. She wears many mor lables like David Dixion. Barbie has came along way, she has her own Shoe line and body prouducts line also and even jewllery. Barbie's home a professional designer to all made by Glen Dixion.



It seems that Barbie will rule the future and many more decades to come. Maybe one day when the world is 2050 there might still be Barbie's ruling all little girls' dream to be like her.








I can remember when I was younger my sister and I would always play with them, in the cars, the doll house and dress up fashion show. I wonder what the Barbie will hold to the future to little girls. What ever it is it will be big, powerful and bold . It will still be a Doll. An Icon. A long Legend. And forever it will be The Original Barbie.
