The editor of Italian VOGUE magazine Franca Sozzani had this to say about the Barbie issue (which features all black barbies):
“Barbie has been an icon for whole generations which is why I really wanted to give a strong sign in step with the times, and dedicate [this] issue to Black Barbie.”

I LOVE THE SHOE PICTURE!!
soooo, where do i buy these black Barbies. i think my babies mother would have a fit but I like ‘em!
life. Let me know when yall get the latina (all races included) issue. Not to brag or anything.. but we have it all… yessir… big ups to my latinos and latinas!
Wish I was a little girl again…
aww this is so adorable!
I soooo neeeed this! I can’t wait to see if my barbie is in it!!!
Latina-lets not beef…just be happy with all the black men that are attracted to “all” you have.
Thank you LuvLawLife., I mean seriously first of all NOT all Latinas have it all… most have hips and not big butts. But then again not all black women have big butts… my point is you didn’t have to take it there Latina.
On a more positive note I love that Vogue is taking a stand in some sort of way. Great Job
@ latina…im with you honey! wheres all the love to the latina women out there!!!
and to all you others i agree. i just have the hips and ass. not the boobs lol
when did this become about latinas? *blank stare*
Anyway damn even a black doll gets shine before a black model.
Its cute and all but couldn’t they have used black models to look like the various Barbies used?
