In a year that celebrates 50 years of Barbie, we also see the world’s most famous fashion doll attend the Kentucky Derby for the first time; in the guise of a collectible doll from the Pink Label Collection designed by Linda Kyaw.

Barbie’s first showed a serious expression to the world. Her red lips bore no smile and she gave a sideways glance out of her narrowed eyes. On the first Barbie there wasn’t even the slightest suggestion of pink. Read more
