Barbie makes haute hot and couture cool.  She is unapologetically all girl.  And, did we mention that she’s the most popular fashion doll in the world?  But all that fame hasn’t gone to Barbie’s legendary coiffed head.  She is still the same fun fashionista she’s always been since she broke into the fashion spotlight in 1959. 
 
She may be petite, at just 11.5 inches tall, but her wardrobe is anything but tiny.  Her amazing outfits have been designed by more than 70 fabulous names in fashion, cut from more than 105 million yards of fabric (and still counting) and she has had 1 billion pairs of the most to-die-for shoes.  
 
So, what exactly does it take to create and maintain this fashion icon that is Barbie?  From designers who have graduated from the top fashion schools, to professional makeup artists and cosmetologists, to the world’s most elite couturiers, it takes more than 100 people to create one single Barbie outfit and look.
