Introducing the Apfel Barbie
What happens when you pair two icons together, you get a masterpiece collectible and that is what Mattel has created when it paired fashion icons Iris Apfel and Barbie for an announcement of their newest creation. For Irish Apfel who has done it all from the White House to Vogue Italia, what was left for this 96 year old icon to achieve. The result is something that few fashion legends have to their credit, her very own Barbie!
However, the catch to all of this is that the Apfel Barbie will not be for sale….there is one and only one that has been created. Mattel said that would be the highest honor for this icon, that there would be one and only one, just as she is one-of-a-kind. The hype is really for Apfel’s newest book….Iris Apfel, The Accidental Icon: The Musings of a Geriatric Starlet. Also, come Fall, Mattel will be releasing clothing inspired by Apfel’s Rara Avis jewelry collection and will feature Apfel Barbie on the very popular Barbie Style Instagram.
