Ken History and Style of an Icon
Edition excerpt from KEN HISTORY AND STYLE OF AN ICON (2025): One of the world’s most lovable sidekicks returnsKenneth Carson is so much more than just a boyfriend. He has always been a mirror of his time––sometimes innovative, sometimes traditional, sometimes a feminist icon, and often a symbol of gay culture. Through every reinvention, he has reflected changing ideals, aesthetics, and social movements. This is the very first book dedicated entirely to Ken, tracing his evolution from his debut in 1961 to Ryan Gosling’s unforgettable portrayal in the 2023 blockbuster movie. This official and comprehensive book offers exclusive behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the designers and creatives who shaped Ken’s history. Featuring never-before-seen images straight from the Mattel archives, it is an essential volume for collectors, pop culture enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the enduring charm of Barbie’s iconic counterpart.
