Kate Moss’s daughter Lila has launched the first Barbie doll with type one diabetes as part of a drive to increase representation by the toy’s manufacturers Mattel.
The 22-year-old, who is also a model and has diabetes, was also presented with a one-off Barbie doll of herself during the launch, which comes after the release of deaf, blind and Down’s Syndrome versions of the toy.
“I think to have a Barbie doll that looks like me with type one diabetes is completely surreal, and it makes me very proud to be able to represent this community,” Moss, whose father is British publisher Jefferson Hack, said.
