Barbie — the very mention makes one break into a smile. The most coveted doll while growing up, curating a personal Barbie collection was a point of pride for many. The love for this special doll continues, regardless of age. Especially when an ace fashion guru like Anita Dongre designs a Barbie for Diwali, you know it’s something special.
The lehenga sported by Barbie is an ode to the women artisans of rural India. The midnight blue outfit with intricate design, the grandeur of the statement earring, the simplicity of the small bindi makes Barbie look like a girl next door.
“...This Barbie Diwali doll represents the fashion-forward modern woman, who wears India on her sleeve with pride.I’m honoured for this opportunity to represent contemporary Indian fashion on a global platform and hope that it inspires kids across the world to connect with their culture and heritage,” wrote Dongre on social media, sharing a glimpse of the doll.
