Italian Vogue Strikes Black Again With Barbie Doll!!
Last July, Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani put out an issue featuring only black models to make a statement about the lack of diversity in the fashion industry. This year, the July magazine isn’t dedicated entirely to black models, but in commemoration of last year’s groundbreaking issue, a special July supplement is dedicated black Barbie dolls. Barbie first came out with a black doll, called “Francie,” in 1967, and in 1980 the first black Barbie doll launched. The new Italian Vogue supplement sounds like a cleverly orchestrated promotion for Barbie’s next line of black dolls, called the “So In Style” dolls. British Vogue reports:
The So In Style dolls … have been designed with more authentic-looking black features, including a new facial sculpt that has fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinctive cheek bones and curlier hair.
