Honoring the Asian Community

We remain dedicated to highlighting real-life female role models to inspire the next generation.

This year, we're proud to honor Anna Sui, a prolific designer known for her eclectic designs that defined '90s grunge chic. With just $300 in her pocket and a dream, she launched her fashion line from her apartment. Her breakthrough 1991 runway show captivated the world with her rich, imaginative style. This collectible doll pays tribute to her vision, featuring a dress designed by Anna Sui and accessorized with her signature perfume and lip gloss black rose ring

The Barbie Dream Gap Project is partnering with Apex for Youth to empower Asian American youth from low-income and immigrant backgrounds to unlock their potential today and a world of possibility tomorrow.
