Производителот „Мател“ ја претстави првата слепа кукла Барби.
А на популарните кукли им се придружила црна Барбика со Даунов синдром. Двата модели се дел од колекцијата Fashionistas 2024.
@visibility_scotland The Barbie we’ve all been waiting for! Video description: August, Visibility Scotland staff member, speaks to camera. She puts two pictures up behind her using TikTok’s green screen effect. The first, from 3 seconds in to 13 seconds in, is of the new Barbie in her box. The Barbie has medium length brown hair, light brown eyes, and is wearing a pink top and frilly purple skirt. The second picture, from 14 seconds to 23 seconds, is of the Barbie outside her box posed to look as though she is walking with her guide cane. Transcript: In breaking news, the first ever blind Barbie doll has been released. I’ve put a picture of her up behind me. She comes with a guide cane and dark glasses, and she was created in partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind in the States and RNIB in the UK. One of the really cool details about this Barbie is that her clothes have been specifically designed to be textured so that children with a vision impairment are able to distinguish between outfits. Overall just a really positive bit of news, and it’s so cool to see such an iconic and huge brand bringing this sort of representation! #Barbie #BlindBarbie #Representation #BreakingNews #Accessibility #RepresentationMatters #VisionImpairment #Disability #Inclusion #VisibilityScotland ♬ Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses Theme – Fairy Lullaby
Барби соработуваше со Американската фондација за слепи (AFB) за да се погрижи за деталите, вклучително и стилизирање на лицето, модата, додатоците, искуството во пакувањето и комуникациите за е-трговија точно да ги прикажуваат слепите и слабовидните луѓе.
Куклата може да се купи со бело и црвено стапче.
