I went to the Barbie exposition in Paris. I have never really like to play with this toy. But I should say that this exposition is quite interesting. You start from how doll used to be use in the 19th century. Then you see how the Hadler transformed a german doll who was for adult ( if you see what I mean) to a doll for little girl.
Like everyone I guess I know that Barbie is not just a toy. It is an Icon. But until today I didn’t get how much she was a true Icon. I mean, at one time, during the visit you cans see that almost (if not all) the big House of Haute Couture have maded an outfit for her.
This expo is really instructing but if you hope to see some bad critics about Barbie don’t go see it. The exposition is made in corporation with Mattel so Barbie is see as a positive role model.
