We hope you liked the Barbie coloring pages. Now we can tell you interesting information about our hero. Barbie dolls, which were first produced in the 60s, were one of the most controversial toys of those times. Because it was the first time people met a baby with a female body. Barbies, which are still debated today whether they are safe for children to play with, are much more than a toy... Ruth Handler came to the idea of designing a doll in female form when she saw the German doll Lilli in a toy store during her trip to Switzerland. She thought that her daughter could experience the happiness of playing with paper dolls more with a doll where she could change her clothes and fix her hair. Because she was inspired by her daughter named Barbara, she chose to name the doll she would design "Barbie".
Introduced as a "Young Fashion Model" in her debut year, Barbie's first profession was modeling. He later had approximately 200 different professions, including astronaut, teacher, doctor, tailor and cook. 50 fashion designers and 12 hairdressers are working together to design Barbie dolls.
She continues to receive criticism for her unrealistic appearance, as it is thought that she will attract young girls with her thin waist, long legs, small feet and make-up. The big smile on Barbie's face was added to it after 1976, and it has continued to be produced that way since then. Barbie, who has been dating Ken since 1961, was separated for 7 years between 2004 and 2011.
Full Name Barbara Millicent Robert
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Robert, which is the name of the daughter of her creator Ruth Handler. Also, Ruth's other child's name is Kenneth. Yes, you guessed it right! The character Ken takes his name from Kenneth. So, the duo that inspired our popular couple are actually siblings.
Barbie Isn't Just Blonde
Barbie was first produced as both blonde and brunette. But blonde dolls sold more than brunette dolls. Marketed as “Young Fashion Model”, the dolls sold approximately 350,000 units in the first year. In 2009, on Barbie's 50th birthday, this sales number reached more than 1 billion. According to statistics, a Barbie doll is sold in the world every three seconds.
Has More than 200 Professions
Doctor, astronaut, pilot, ballerina... Barbie has more than 200 professions. Barbies produced by Mattel in various professions continue to inspire children in their career choices.
Inspires Famous Designers
It is thought that more than 1 billion outfits have been designed for Barbie and her friends since 1959. Barbie is undoubtedly an iconic name for the fashion world! Barbie has been dressed by more than 70 fashion designers, including Yves Saint Laurent and Dior. It became the inspiration for a fashion show at New York Fashion Week in 2009. In 2014, Jeremy Scott was inspired by Barbie in the Moschino fashion show at Milan Fashion Week.
Special Jewelry Collection
Besides being a fashion icon, Barbie also has a very good jewelry collection. In 2010, Stefano Canturi designed $302,500 worth of jewelry for Barbie, calling it "Stefani Barbie". It is impossible not to admire the sparkling stones of the necklace made of emerald-cut Australian pink diamonds!
One of the Best Selling Toys
Would you be surprised if we said that a Barbie doll is sold every three seconds? Mattel reaches annual sales of approximately 150 million units in 150 different countries.
