Over 500 dolls were displayed in Florence, Italy, as part of the celebrations of Barbie’s 50th anniversary this year. Manufacturer Mattel is believed to be supportive of the exhibit, partly the creation of Italian designer Eliana Lorena.

"I know Barbie was something seen as bad before as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is you can be whatever you want to be," says Lorena, quoted Fox News.
