Rainbow High is expanding its authentically diverse and inclusive doll line to include a doll with albinism, a very light skin tone, hair and eyelashes, as well as eyeglasses. The first fashion doll with albinism spotlights an inherited genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes.
The inclusive doll collection also includes a character of South Asian Indian descent, complete with mendhi; a multicultural Asian doll who is proud to wear the fashions of her different backgrounds; and a doll with vitiligo.
The new dolls are coming to Rainbow High's first-ever exclusive, experiential event, the RH x SH Pop-Up, in Los Angeles, California, and it takes the form of an exclusive shopping event with three never-before-available dolls. With a limited ticket release, the exclusive event in May sold out in less than 10 minutes.
