Although her full name is Barbara Millicent Robert, everybody knows her as "Barbie" for short. When she made her debut on March 9, 1959 at the International Toy Fair in New York, she became the dearest toy of girls around the world. Barbie, who assumed the role of a "young model" at first, then a "Fashion Editor" in the 1960s, inspired millions of girls throughout her 57-year journey, with more than 150 careers including a teacher, pilot, veterinary physician, UNICEF ambassador and even an astronaut. Barbie has also given a few fashion tips to young girls thanks to her designer clothes, exclusively made for her. She transcended every linguistic, cultural, social and anthropological barrier and changed people's sense of fashion in a very short span of time, becoming a global symbol. After 57 years, Barbie has become the subject of a book and an exhibition featured at one of the largest museums in Italy's capital city, Rome.
