Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Barbie Fashion Designer is a 1996 video game developed by Digital Domain and published by Mattel Media for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. It is a Barbie-licensed game in which players can create, print and decorate dolls with designs made using the software. Designer and inventor Andy Rifkin pitched the game to Mattel after he observed his daughter, Elizabeth Joi, decorating her Barbie dolls with spare fabric, stationery and suggesting to use the computer printer to print patterns. The game was one of the first to be released under a newly-created interactive division named Mattel Media. It is the first example of a successful virtual dress-up game. Upon release, Barbie Fashion Designer was a commercial success. Released prior to the Christmas season, the software sold over one million copies within a year. Contemporary and retrospective coverage has described the game as a successful example of girls' video games. Later reception has characterized it as the most successful girls' game of its era, and recognized its influence in leading developers to develop and market software targeted at this demographic. The game has been described as representative of a trend of "pink" girls' games, concerned with fashion and appearance. Its design has received commentary and criticism for reinforcing gender stereotypes. Mattel capitalized on the commercial performance of the game by developing additional Barbie software titles. Digital Domain developed a sequel, Barbie Cool Looks Fashion Designer, which was released in 1998. In 2023, Barbie Fashion Designer was inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame at the Strong National Museum of Play.
