Barbie launches collection of female role models for International Women’s Day

Leyla Piedayesh, the founder and power behind Berlin fashion label Lala Berlin, is known to be a mover and shaker, but not necessarily a living doll – until now, that is. As part of this year’s Barbie Shero lineup honoring 17 contemporary and historical women role models around the world, Piedayesh is the first German to have a Barbie created in her own likeness. Born in Tehran, the long-term Berlin resident and maker of edgy knit-centric apparel joins Shero.
