Today, Barbie announced the expansion of its Fashionistas line with the addition of three new body types – tall, curvy and petite. The new 2016 doll line features seven skin tones, 22 eye colours, 24 hairstyles and countless on-trend fashions and accessories. Adding more diversity into the line continues the journey that Barbie started in 2015 when the brand added 23 dolls with new skin tones, hair colours and, most notably, a flat foot. The new dolls can be viewed on Barbie.com and will be available to order from today at Shop.Mattel.com in the US. The collection will be available starting in Spring 2016 at major toy retailers worldwide.
