The One World Doll Project Celebrates Global Diversity

The One World Doll Project has targeted one of the biggest trends to hit the children’s industry: multicultural dolls and products that reflect real family values. “Many personal experiences served as inspiration for the Prettie Girls! dolls, but the primary motivation was to address the growing, unfulfilled demand in the marketplace for mainstream fashion play dolls that represent racial and cultural diversity,” explained Trent T. Daniel, co-founder of The One World Doll Project.

The line of life-like fashion dolls was developed by Mattel veteran and co-founder Stacey McBride-Irby. She made her name with popular creations like the So In Style™ line of African-American Barbie™ dolls and the sorority Barbie (Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first African-American Greek Sorority), as well as Pet Vet Barbie, Rock Star Barbie, and Bride Barbie. McBride-Irby’s positive, can-do attitude is obvious in her design style and motto: “A happy, inspired childhood creates happy, inspired, and powerful women.” The designer’s heart’s desire is evident in each doll — there is a strong emphasis on quality fashion, healthy living, and a can-do-it attitude. Her insight is now serving a future generation of doll-lovers with toys that are highly collectible.

The Prettie Girls! are all about celebrating the wonder and inspiration of every nation. Five, 11.5” dolls offer a multicultural and positive message that parents around the world can appreciate. The Prettie Girls’ appeal to young girls is obvious: they are fresh, fashionable, and truly different with a hip, positive attitude. These dolls have a genuine pull on the increasing number of families that not only want to promote an understanding of other cultures, but also instill this value in their own children.

The African American Lena is a gorgeous charmer who promotes a love of learning and has an eye on the future. Her cute pantsuit and sleek hairstyle make her one motivated fashionista. Latina Valencia bounces out in style in shorts and a jazzy pink top. Valencia is all about athletics and healthy eating, bringing home an important message about a healthy mind and a healthy body. Rounding out the collection are the gorgeous African Kimani, the South Asian Dahlia, and Caucasian Alexie.

These dolls are highly collectible and especially attractive to aficionados with an interest in beautiful, life-like creations. (McBride-Irby is also the artistic force behind the glamorous Cynthia Bailey collectible).
