Later on, Sporty was added, and Girly got renamed as Sweetie.

PREVIOUS FASHIONISTAS RELEASES
Free-spirited, creative and always inspired by nature. Artsy loves earthy tones, flowing silhouettes, handmade details and an effortlessly bohemian feel. Her wardrobe is expressive, organic and never too polished.
The ultimate Barbie girl. Glam is polished, sophisticated and effortlessly fabulous, with a love for elegant silhouettes, sparkling details and luxurious finishes. Wherever she goes, she believes there’s always a reason to dress up.
Cool, expressive and a little rebellious, Sassy takes her inspiration from music, pop culture and alternative fashion. She loves experimenting with unexpected combinations and always brings a little attitude to her look.
There’s no such thing as too cute. Cutie adores kawaii fashion, playful colours, quirky accessories and layering as many adorable details as possible. If she can add another charm, bow or decoration, she probably will.
Energetic, confident and always on the move. Sporty lives in activewear, mixing athletic essentials with casual street style. She loves sporty silhouettes, practical details and comfortable pieces that look just as good out and about as they do at the gym.
Previously known as Girly, Sweetie celebrates everything soft, feminine and charming. Think bows, ribbons, delicate details and tiny charms. Her wardrobe is romantic, playful and unapologetically pretty.
More is never enough for Wild. Bold, adventurous and unapologetically over-the-top, she lives for animal prints, statement pieces and fashion that demands attention. She’s always ready to push her look one step further.
