Mattel also announced it will be releasing an Iris-inspired "as styled by" model, which features a more standard-looking Barbie dressed in one of Iris's outfits, including the aforementioned glasses, an eye-catching fur coat and chunky beaded necklaces from Iris's own Rava Avis collection. Veteran Jewish fashion guru Iris Apfel has been immortalised in the most fashion-friendly way possible: as a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll.

From her signature specs to her sophisticated suit, she's sure to become a favorite collectable for Barbie®lovers of all ages.Her long-spanning career makes her the perfect subject of a one-of-a-kind doll, the highest honor Barbie bestows," the brand said in a statement. Iris Apfel is one of the most dynamic personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design! Back in March of this year, Mattel made a Barbie doll to honour Iris Apfel, the fashion icon extraordinaire that has defined her own particular look of multicoloured chic for ages.

However, Barbie will release a "Styled By" Barbie that takes fashion cues from Apfel later this year. Despite being born almost four decades before Barbie first appeared in 1959, Apfel appears remarkably wrinkle-free as a doll. Although the new dolls made a big splash on International Women’s Day, many fans criticized Mattel for the Kahlo doll, which did not include a full unibrow or the artist’s wheelchair. Her chic accessories include Iris’ signature oversized black glasses, a multi-strand “pearl” necklace, and bracelet cuff.Her long-spanning career makes her the perfect subject of a one-of-a-kind doll, the highest honor Barbie bestows.
