It happened - the hips of Barbie dolls are now touching!
The maker of the iconic toy company Mattel decided to continue what had been started, and, following the plump Curvy, petite Petite and tall Tall with a range of 7 skin tones, 22 eye colors and 24 hairstyles, created a doll with a figure resembling the physique of most women on the planet!
The prototype and inspiration of the new Barbie was one of the most popular supermodels with the mark "plus sais" - 27-year-old Ashley Graham (Ashley Graham).
New creation of the toy brand Ashley has already presented at the ceremony of presenting the annual "Woman of the Year" award glamor Glamor last week.

"We must unite to overcome the once established standards and the generally accepted canons of beauty, promoting a more inclusive picture," the model said during her speech. "I'm just delighted with the new Barbie!" And I'm grateful to Mattel, for their desire to evolve their creations, and for honoring women pushing the boundaries. It is a great honor for me to be immortalized in plastic! "
It is known that the basic requirements that the lush model made to manufacturers are a complete lack of clearance between the hips!
"It's time to demonstrate to the girls that the touching hips are beautiful and natural," Graham dolls commented on the new innovation.

You will not believe, but the company Mattel still did not fulfill one condition of the inspiration - Ashley insisted on the presence of cellulite on the hips for plausibility, but it was technically impossible to perform it from plastic.
Interestingly, the new Barbie-Ashley is released in one of the model's favorite bows - in a shimmering silvery dress from the opening ceremony, jean jacket from Sonia Rykiel and ankle boots Pierre Hardy.
And Barbie's exit with voluminous hips was preceded by another heroic series - "Shero" (a play of words - "She" - she and "hero" - a hero), prototypes of which were star personalities, such as singer Zendaya, actress Christine Chenoweth and gymnast Gabriel Douglas.
