Barbie in burqa to raise funds for Save the Children charity | | Barbie is all set for a traditional makeover - the doll will don a burqa for a charity auction. The much-adored Barbie will be auctioned in the traditional Islamic dress for Sotheby's Save the Children charity. Over 500 dolls were displayed in Florence
, Italy , as part of the celebrations of Barbie's 50th anniversary this year.
Manufacturer Mattel is believed to be supportive of the exhibit, partly the creation
of Italian designer Eliana Lorena. "I know Barbie was something seen as bad before
as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is
you can be whatever you want to be," Fox News quoted Lorena, as telling the Daily
Mail. |
