Barbie Games and Fashion Trends


If the makers of Barbie games had their way, Barbie games would be the start of all kinds of fashion trends. Barbie has always been marketed as a fashion doll and she is always stylist, but she’s not a trend setter. Love her to death, but Barbie is a trend follower. She doesn’t define the fashion trends of each generation or decade. Instead she sets the trends for fashion dolls by redoing the trends that are already out there.

In fact, Barbie has left much of the fashion world behind by focusing on her own versions of timeless outfits. The doctor Barbie is dressed in a pink gown with a doctor’s jacket and the Vet doctor is similar. There are actually very few fashion Barbie games out there. Most are either career minded, dressed in a swimsuit or designed as a mythical or movie creature. You can find Barbie games designed as characters from Camp Rock as easily as you can find Barbie games designed as mermaids. Fashion setter? Nope, but fun none the less.
