About this item:
- Designed to reflect the world kids see today, this diverse line of Barbie Fashionistas dolls showcases bright and trendy styles that make for endless storytelling possibilities.
- Introducing the first ever blind Barbie Fashionistas doll! Barbie partnered with the American Foundation for the Blind to design a doll that accurately portrays someone who is blind or has low vision.
- She wears a satiny pink blouse and sparkly, ruffled skirt made with a fun-to-touch fabric! Strappy lavender heels add an extra note of style savviness to her sweet look.
- The brightly colored, high-contrast closures on the back of her top and on her skirt's elastic waistband make it easier to dress Barbie doll!
- Her silvery aviator sunglasses are not only super cool -- they're practical too! The "lenses" shield her eyes from UV rays when it's sunny.
- Barbie uses her white cane as she explores the city. It's an important complement to her day-to-night outfit, which is perfect for a fun-filled weekend with friends!
- From articulated arms that make using the cane a breeze, to packaging that features the word "Barbie" in Braille, this Blind Fashionistas doll is lovingly designed in every way.
- Kids 3 years old and up can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime (each sold separately, subject to availability).

That said, this doll was designed in collaboration with the American Foundation for the Blind and there are tons of academic and lay studies that make it clear that representation is absolutely crucial in play. Similarly, there is significant research (again both academic and lay) that shows that a huge portion of the population does not in fact consider Barbie to be a beauty ideal - instead the stereotypical concept of the blond/busty/etc being the ideal comes in no small part from the fact that no other options were available.
