The Darkest Barbie Doll on Record

This week Lars von Trier reflects on his 15 year partnership with Mattel, including what his dolls meant to the black women who collected them. And he points out that there have been many more since then of course other black designers to design for these. In 1995, you also have the first collaboration between the house of Christian Dior, then hound by Jean Franco Faire, and Barbie. Barbies high fashion wardrobe coming out of the 1990s was not exclusive to them.
