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.
Barbie partnered with the National Down Syndrome Society to design a Barbie doll with Down syndrome that celebrates this community.
Meaningful symbols are incorporated throughout her outfit, and the blue and yellow color palette represents Down syndrome awareness.
The three * arrows in some of the hearts on the print represent the third 21st chromosome that individuals with Down syndrome have, and they point outwards to represent rising up and moving forward.
Barbie doll wears pink eyeglasses – super cute and practical, too! Prescription eyeglasses are more common in individuals with Down syndrome than in the general population.
She has black braided hair and rocks pink shoes — with such a versatile and trendy look, Barbie doll is ready for any adventure that imaginations dream up!
Kids 3 years and older can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime (each sold separately, subject to availability).
