Day to Night Barbie was the first time that Barbie represented one of her most aspirational careers - CEO. The pitch of Day to Night Barbie was that was a professional career woman, but could still go out of the town as a fashion icon once she finished up for the day!
Originally released in 1985, as one of her most iconic careers, it was released again as part of the special edition looks back at Barbie’s life.
This release is largely the same except it contains the original year of release in the top right hand of the box. She came with the same accessories, though packaged in a slightly different layout so it is not immediately apparent.
This was one of many Barbie releases that sought to distinguish her - Barbie was now fully formed from her roots as a “teen fashion model”. Now Barbie is, per the advertising slogan, “the ultimate career woman.”
