I’m a Barbie girl… oh in the fashion wooor-ooorld….

So Barbie dolls have been the world’s favourite girl’s toy for years, with their beautiful, brush-able hair and stylish clothes.

But ever since they first came into the world, way back in the 50s, they have made a huge contribution to the fashion world. Many young girls become interested in shopping, fashion and make-up because of their Barbie dolls. And the introduction of the more-trendy fashion doll in 2003, the Bratz, meant that girls saw even more fashionable clothes from a young age.

Even now, many up and coming designers use Barbies, MyScenes, Sindy or Bratz to model their creative ideas on, before they make the full-sized clothing. I’m definitely one of them!

You may have some old fashion dolls and their clothes. Looking through them, they probably aren’t terribly modern or “trendy”. But if you mix and match clothes, you can get excellent style inspiration to try your own real-life-sized crazy combinations!
