🎀 Hi, Barbie!

Mattel just announced its two newest Barbie designs: a blind Barbie and the first Black Barbie with Down syndrome.

• The dolls are part of Barbie's 2024 Fashionistas Line, an inclusive range of dolls with over 175 varieties of skin tone, eye color, hair color and texture, body types, disabilities, and fashions, USA Today reports.
• Both designs were created in partnership with nonprofit agencies that advocate for those with vision impairment and blindness and people with Down syndrome – and the attention to detail is astounding.

💬 What they're saying: “We recognize that Barbie is much more than just a doll," Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls, said in a press release. "She represents self-expression and can create a sense of belonging."
