Girl Power

Generation Girl Barbie arrived just before the new millennium, a time when individual style ruled fashion and “Girl Power” reigned. Music groups like The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child inspired people to express their individuality through fashion, instead of conforming to a specific trend.

Generation Girl captured this independent streak. The line included the first six characters: Barbie, Nichelle, Tori, Chelsie, Lara, and Ana, and the dolls came with two outfits and accessories that highlighted their individual personalities and interests.
