Semester: Spring 2010
Host: Harmony Apel
Show Summary: Come play dress up with Impact as we take a look at fashion icons and fashion statements. From her salacious roots as an erotic German doll, Barbie became one of the most popular children's toys in history. Since her debut in 1959, millions of Barbies have been sold around the world. But first, we examine a unique fashion trend from Japan that is catching on in the U.S. Lolita fashion takes elements from sources as diverse as anime and Victorian-era ruffles, and combines them into a bold and brash new look.
