The Barbie Fashionistas Dolls series is designed to reflect the world children see today, offering a variety of bright and modern styles that encourage the telling of countless stories. Barbie has collaborated with the National Down Syndrome Society to create a Barbie doll with Down syndrome, celebrating this community. Important symbols have been incorporated throughout the outfit, while the blue and yellow color palette highlights Down syndrome awareness.

The three arrows on certain hearts in the design symbolize the third 21st chromosome that people with Down syndrome have and are pointing outward, representing progress and moving forward. Barbie wears pink glasses—stylish and practical! Prescription glasses are more common among individuals with Down syndrome compared to the general population. She features braided black hair and wears pink shoes—with such a versatile and modern look, the Barbie doll is ready for any adventure imagination can dream up!
