In 1960, Barbie transitioned from her role as a model to embark on a new career as a Fashion Designer. This marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of the iconic doll, showcasing her adaptability and versatility. The introduction of the businesswoman outfit was a tangible representation of its shift, complete with a portfolio and accompanying sketches. Over the years, Barbie has not been confined to a single profession or role. Instead, she has explored many careers, totaling over 200 distinct occupations. One notable instance occurred in 1965 when Mattel introduced the 'Astronaut' Barbie. This foresighted move preceded the inclusion of women in NASA by thirteen years, predating Sally Ride's historic journey as the first American woman in space in 1983.
