#DesignOfTheWeek | Malibu
@Barbie doll (1971) is the epitome of 1970's California cool 😎
With her long, straight blonde hair and oversized lilac sunglasses, Malibu Barbie doll's appearance recalls the character of Marcia Brady from The Brady Bunch, which first aired in 1969.
Her tanned skin signified an aspirational outdoor lifestyle of surf, sand and sunshine.
