In 2004 (or more like 2002-03), Mattel had the genius idea to create a line of Barbie doll and friends called Fashion Fever. These dolls wore up to date casual fashions and face make up. Sometime during 2004, they released a set of dolls wearing fashions influenced by the Fruit Styles found in Japanese youth culture.

Of course, pale blonde Barbie is included.
kayla sku# G9009
Kayla, a Hispanic-looking character (I don’t have her original outfit…)
drew sku# G9010
Drew, a Caucasian character – she usually has reddish or brunette hair…
teresa sku# G9011
Teresa… what has happened to Teresa? Is she a brunette Caucasian or a light-skinned Hispanic nowadays?
But no Asian (or Black) representation… seems like Asian fashion styles can be appropriated by the West but can only be worn by non-Asian people? Seriously…
