They also said how they wanted to inspire a more age-inclusive world by imagining what she should really look like. Chris Donnelly, Co-Founder at Lottie, says: "Ageing is a natural journey marked by wisdom, experience, and resilience. It is crucial for younger generations to witness representations of age in the media and in their lives, to understand and appreciate the diverse stages of life." "At Lottie, we firmly believe in promoting inclusivity and representation across all age groups. Our age-friendly Barbie is a powerful step towards challenging stereotypes and inspiring individuals to embrace every stage of life with confidence and pride. It is essential for younger generations to witness the beauty of ageing to create a world where everyone's journey is celebrated. "With the launch of our age-friendly Barbie, we invite people of all ages to join the movement and celebrate the beauty of ageing. Together, we can pave the way for a future where individuals are seen, accepted, and celebrated, regardless of age." Lottie also spoke to women across different generations - who would welcome an age-friendly doll: Betty, who is 84 - almost the same age as Barbie, says: "I’d very much welcome an age-friendly Barbie. Even though I’m in my 80’s I still love to get my hair done, and wear nice clothes and jewellery - it would be great to see what Barbie would look like if she was in her 80s!"
