Last Night we celebrated the launch of Barbie®: The Exhibition at the the Design Museum. The event was a spectacular celebration of Barbie’s 65-year design journey of innovation, with a vibrant crowd experiencing over 180 remarkable dolls, including a rare first edition Barbie from 1959. The exhibition which will run until February 2025, highlights Barbie’s significant influence on design, fashion, culture and will present exclusive, behind-the-scenes insights into Mattel’s design processes. With special thanks to the team at the Design Museum, Tim Marlow, Josephine Chanter, curator Danielle Thom, and of course our Mattel teams led by Kim Culmone, Julie Freeland, Frederica Peters (née Swallow), Liz Maglione, and all those on the ground at Mattel EMEA.

Barbie inspires the limitless potential in girls, which is why at the beginning of this year we partnered with The Prince's Trust through the #ChangeAGirlsLife campaign. Together with Barbie and George at Asda, we developed a unique opportunity for young people to design a Barbie fashion collection inspired by the theme "inspiring stories, shaping the future at the heart". The collection, created by talented young individuals supported by The Prince’s Trust, was a great success, raising £200,000 to support young women. This partnership exemplifies the power of storytelling and fashion to drive positive change. We shared more about this story yesterday at YMS LDN, thank you to Catherine Hutchinson for inviting us and YMS for hosting. Let's continue to champion young people and create a brighter future together!
