Barbie: an inspiration in Pop culture
It does not matter how old you are; there is a large chance that you have played at least once with a Barbie doll. Not only is it a cultural icon, but it also inspired the looks of pop artists in the past—like Madonna and Cindy Lauper.
Since the 2010s, artist Nicki Minaj has brought Barbie-inspired fashion to a new level. She started calling herself the “Harajuku Barbie” when she became popular in MySpace and wore outfits that closely resembled the doll’s. Nicki also calls her fans “Barbz.”
