Fashion Doll Quarterly
SPRING 2007 ISSUE
"ICONS"

An icon is someone or something widely and uncritically admiredùa symbol of a movement or field of activity. Using that definition, Barbie, Cissy, and Gene surely fit the bill. And what of our other favorites? Well, certainly the Fashion Royalty line is developing a loyal and passionate following, as has Tyler Wentworth, Volks Super Dollfie, and MGA Entertainment's Bratz dolls. But will they be the mainstay of collectors a decade or even a half-century from now? That is the question.
