BARBIE: ALL DOLLED UP: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BARBIE
Book ID/图书代码： 01585008B28673
English Summary/英文概要： In 2009, Barbie turns fifty. Hard to believe, considering how well she’s aged, but in that time the doll has touched the lives of countless little girls — girls who are now women with an abiding sense of nostalgia for their little plastic friend. Pulling together the best memories and moments and pairing them with shimmering visuals and exciting design, All Dolled Up will celebrate five decades of Barbie history — which so often mirrors our own — in full-color, fabulous style.
Inside, the book will be broken into chapters according to key eras in Barbie’s development — her 1959 debut, the Mod Era, the Malibu Barbie decade, the big-bold ’80s, the Totally Hair ’90s, and so on — providing basic structure and a way to organize fun facts about the doll. In each chapter, a running narrative will combine chronology and memory, weaving a thread between bright images and poignant quotes from moms and daughters, from Hollywood celebrities, and from noted fashion stylists and designers including Diane Von Furstenberg, Tarina Tarantino, Bob Mackie, and many others, all of whom recall a point in their lives when Barbie played a starring role.
All Dolled Up will also include an assortment of interactive features and rare artwork. Mattel has granted becker&mayer! special access to its archives, and has put us in touch with major Barbie collectors from around the world, affording us terrific imagery. Original 1960s doll packaging, old Barbie comic books, designers’ sketches, and much more will be reproduced both as flat art and as three-dimensional pieces.
All Dolled Up will be a vibrant, interactive celebration not just of a doll, but of a feeling: the little bit of “Barbie Girl” in all of us.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2009年3月9日是芭比娃娃品牌创建50周年的日子，据美泰公司统计，芭比娃娃的销售在全球150多个国家占据着统治地位，总销售额超过10亿美元，仅在美国一隅，芭比娃娃的数量比美国人口还要多。有调查显示，72％的波多黎各女孩和49％的智利女孩人手一个芭比娃娃；在欧洲国家，芭比仍然是销售第一的女孩玩具。
1958年，芭比（Barbie）之母露丝• 汉德勒（Ruth Handler），身为美国美泰（Mattel）公司的创始人之一，正式开创了芭比这个品牌，芭比的名字是以她的大女儿芭芭拉（Barbara）的昵称命名。露丝的初衷，是要设计出一款娃娃，以一个成人女性的形象，进入美国女孩的生活，成为女孩们的好朋友，知己，甚至人生偶像。这样一个概念的娃娃，在当时的美国前所未有。露丝大胆尝试，终于在两年的市场探索后大获全胜。订单象雪片一样飞来，美泰公司甚至用上了10年的时间才使芭比的生产量满足了市场的需求。
芭比的精神和气质，始终感染着一代又一代女孩的成长。这是其他任何娃娃商品在目前都无法企及的。成为像芭比那样的女性，始终是这几代女孩们奋斗的榜样和终极梦想。(RY)
