At the same time, it has progressed to reach the appeal of adults with world-renowned fashion designers joining the bandwagon and design for Barbie dolls so that they give the collectors more options in collecting antique Barbie dolls in the years to come. Two designers who are active in doing these are Bob Mackie and Vera Wang.
Another fascination of those who collect antique Barbie dolls are the hair because of its ongoing changes. Young girls, teenagers, and even adults are drawn to the long and beautiful tresses of Barbie which can be stylized and put accessories on depending on the collector's liking and her outfits.
A lot of Barbie dolls already have combs, clips, and accessories.
