Notes &

The Body Shop turned increasingly toward social and environmental campaigns to promote its business in the late-80s. In 1997… the company created a doll in the likeness of Barbie but with a lifelike voluptuous figure and luxuriant red hair, that came with the tag line, “There are 3 billion women who don’t look like supermodels and only 8 who do”. Mattel thought looked too much like Barbie and later sued the company for copyright infringement. The Body Shop stopped the campaign.
