DesignOfTheWeek | The very first Barbie doll from 1959 🖤 This doll was marketed as a 'Teen Age Fashion Model'. Her groomed appearance and glamorous accessories gave her an air of maturity, akin to prominent 1950s models such as Dovima and Dorian Leigh. Nevertheless, her swinging ponytail, which came in blonde and brunette, ensured that she could be perceived as a teenager, since the hairstyle was associated with young actors like Sandra Dee. See this doll as part of BarbieTheExhibition, on until February 2025 📸 Jo Underhill for the Design Museum © Mattel, Inc

Are you an adventurer like Van Gogh? In his life and in his art, Van Gogh always tried to better himself, even if it meant venturing into unknown territory. Despite lacking formal training, he relentlessly pursued his artistic vision. ✍️ ‘Anyone who has a solid position elsewhere, let him stay where he is but for adventurers as myself I think they lose nothing in risking more.’ Van Gogh’s journey reminds us that taking risks and embracing challenges can lead to growth and discovery. Perhaps, like him, we can find meaning in stepping into the unknown. 🖼️ ‘Seascape at Saintes-Maries’, 1888 © Pushkin Museum
