The Styled by Design 4 was created by Linda Kyaw-Merschon and recognizes her contributions as a veteran who has played a central role in shaping Barbie’s image for more than twenty years. This particular piece, which models her own dream red-carpet look, similar to the refined fashion often associated with public figures, is part of a special series that highlights people whose work has influenced the brand, continued its evolution, and helped maintain its relevance. It follows dolls 1, 2, and 3.

Linda joined Mattel’s team in the early 2000s after studying fashion. Over the years, she advanced through multiple positions. Her work spans collectible, fashion, and playline, including contributions to the Barbie Signature, such as the David Bowie. She is currently deeply involved with the @barbiestyle collection.
