A new Barbie with Down syndrome presented by its French ambassador Éléonore Laloux. Star photo session for this young woman of 37, all smiles, amazed to discover the first doll that looks like her. A Barbie with almond eyes, smaller, which looks like young girls with Down syndrome. Éléonore Laloux and her father like to look at these photos where she poses with the doll. Having been chosen by this great brand of toys makes her very happy: “For me, it’s a source of great pride. I do everything to give hope to parents who are expecting a child with Down’s syndrome”.

The difference honored by Barbie

Barbies in armchairs, suffering from vitiligo or even with a prosthesis…today, there is room for difference with 275 models and 26 skin colors. Making disability visible, a fight led by Éléonore Laloux. Elected municipal councilor in Arras, she found her place as an administrative officer at the city hospital. A great adventure for this young woman with Down syndrome, happy to represent the most famous doll in the world.
