Barbie What a Doll! Four Decades of a Fashion

Rather than simply promoting the creations of prestigious clothing designers -- as had traditional fashion dolls -- Barbie embodied both the new American spirit of brash enthusiasm & the increased freedom for women. This glorious collection updates the previous, best-selling Artabras edition, which left off in 1989. Here, arranged by category, is the full range of her 1990s wardrobe, in addition to the varied fashions of her first 30 years -- velvet ball gowns, spandex disco dresses, mod miniskirts, tweed business ensembles, quirky pantsuits, elegant trench coats, & much more. This full-color fashion parade is sure to delight Barbie doll fans of all generations.Jacobs, Laura is the author of 'Barbie What a Doll!
