Architect Barbie Aims to Inspire More Girls to Become Designers
by Bridgette Meinhold, 05/17/11
If Barbie can do it, then certainly any little girl out there can become an architect. Or so says Mattel as part of its Barbie I Can Be… line of high-heeled, blonde bombshell dolls. Architect Barbie, the 2011 career of the year, is due out this summer complete with architecture inspired clothing, a hard hat, glasses and a document tube. While there has certainly been some backlash as to her accessories from editors and young architects, Mattel’s goal is to allow little girls to role play and try on different careers with the hopes of inspiring future architects.
