Barbie Fashionistas was created by Mattel in 2009! Since then the Barbie Fashionistas list has grown significantly thanks to it’s high popularity.
The original release started out with just seven dolls, six females and one male. The females were named Wild, Cutie, Glam, Sassy, Artsy, and Girly.
The male was named Hottie but has seen been renamed Cutie due to controversy surrounding the original name. Critics suggested it was too sexually explicit for the doll line.
What makes this line so popular and unique from the original Barbie? The bendable joints on their then new bodies as pictured below!
