Barbie: A Celebration of the Icon is a picture book that tells the story of one of the most influential trendsetters in history: Barbie Millicent Roberts. At 65 years of age- the doll continues to be an inspirational muse- true to her nature as a fashion icon- but ever more inclusive and attentive to global issues- consistent with her motto- ‘You can be anything-‘ which is increasingly contemporary. In the 2023 movie Barbie- directed by Greta Gerwig- she appeared for the first time in the flesh thanks to actress Margot Robbie- a true contemporary transposition of the original ‘Teenage Fashion Doll’ presented at the New York Toy Fair on March 9- 1959: sinuous lines and a striking face commensurate with the sophisticated aesthetics of the stars of the 1950s. In this book- through five sections and an up-to-date timeline (1959-2024)- Barbie helps us reinterpret the social and aesthetic trends that have exercised their influence from the 1950s to present day through history- fashion- society- art- and costume.
