Barbie: The Celebration of an Icon

The coffee table book "Barbie: The Celebration of an Icon" celebrates the life of Barbie. The beautifully designed book about the one and only Barbie is a collection of photographs and sections ranging from style icon, Barbie evolution, Barbie fashion and Barbie facts.

Pop icon, fashionable muse and role model Barbara Millicent Roberts - known throughout the world simply as "Barbie" - continues to fascinate generations around the world. Since her introduction in 1959, she has constantly evolved to embrace the changing times, increasingly inclusive and representative of today's women.

The Barbie book charmingly chronicles the social and aesthetic trends Barbie has embodied from the 1950s to the present in fashion, society, art and costumes. As the introduction by author, curator and museum director Massimiliano Capella points out, In the year she turns sixty-five (2024), Barbie continues her transformations and evolutions, moving with the times, remaining true to her intrinsic nature as a fashion icon, but becoming increasingly inclusive, having a keen eye for social and global themes and issues, such as diversity and gender equality, and remaining true to her old motto, which is more topical than ever: "You can be anything."
