How This Woman Designed Barbie's Most Iconic Outfits For 35 Years

Carol Spencer was the unsung hero behind Barbie’s most iconic fashion designs from 1963 until her retirement in 1998. Recently, thanks to the success of her new book, “Dressing Barbie,” the 86-year-old designer is finally getting her due recognition. We went to Carol’s home, where she has a giant collection of Barbie dolls and memorabilia, to interview her about life, fashion, and what it was like to dress the most famous “woman” in the world. Will include archival footage about Barbie to fill out the piece visually.

As a tomboy, I never had an interest in Barbie growing up and I was scornful of girls that did. But, now I can sew. Seeing this fantastic collection which chronicles decades of women's fashion means I shall by buying my very first Barbie in my fifties and making her some clothes! Inspirational.

@@evilsharkey8954 I'm gay, and I have Barbies but I don't use them for fashion.

In my hometown there was a nice elderly lady with a barbie doll store she worked in, she made dresses for them and sold them, a lot of them vintage barbies as well. I lived for that store as a kid and I admired all that she did. I've moved since then by a good ten years and I heard of some grave news that a few years ago she was murdered during a robbery of the store. It was a nice town and then years pass and it's one of the most crime prominent cities in America. What kind of monsters would do such a thing?

It's because of this woman that I was enamored by Barbie. I didn't care about what Barbie did or what body she had. I didn't look up to a doll as a role model. It's her clothes that made me want to get a doll. It's the lavish dresses, the glamour, the sophistication, and the fun of it. Barbie's outfits made me want to wear them too. I would always imagine myself one day wearing a Barbie inspired dress. Thank you so much Carol Spencer! I loved your designs. I still do.

Same I never cared about her body or beauty either. Her clothes were amazing

[@happyfacefries]

Agreed. I hate my body but ive never been able to understand why people hate and blame a doll so much for an image. I never thought I should look like Barbie, maybe because I know I never could be, but she was a friend I could have and play with and express my creativity. With some of the other Barbie things, I would also sometimes feel pretty, which I rarely feel.

[@ghoullovinbutch]

the fact that she traveled out into the real world to find her inspiration… i wish more designers were like her. the trendy breaking news kinda fashion is already out there, you just have to go find it.

My favorite eras of Barbie fashion were the 1959-60’s fashion, 70’s, and late 90’s-early 2000’s. The 70’s fashions in particular were very underrated. The “budget” fashions were a little gaudy, but the more high-end designs (that included shoes and sometimes an accessory) were very beautiful and are very hard to find now. The bidding wars on eBay get crazy over them.

Back when it wasn't fashionable to stay a single career woman, she did and went to college and ended up designing for Barbie for years! She really is amazing, she even went to Japan to keep Barbie production and design quality up. I love her new book, it's a good read and beautiful pictures that any Barbie collector would love.
