Product Information

For International Women's Day this year, Barbie honored legends from Olympian Chloe Kim to artist Frida Kahlo with dolls made in their likenesses. Apfel, whose iconic look includes red lips and coke bottle glasses, joins other inspiring women whose likenesses have been made into Barbies, like director Ava DuVernay, ballerina Misty Copeland, and Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas. Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. A genuine fashion icon, with style in her DNA, Iris has been honored with awards, museum exhibits, and a documentary, among many other outstanding achievements. Especially to older women who admire and are inspired by one of the most dynamic personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design.

Legendary fashion icon Iris Apfel is the most recent celebrity to have a Barbie made in her likeness. She travelled the world sourcing hard-to-find textiles, picking up a variety of unique items of clothing along the way which helped establish the personal style she is now famous for.

The “Inspiring Women” line – also announced on International Women’s Day – included dolls based on three pioneering figures: aviator Amelia Earhart, NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.Our "Barbie® Styled By" Collection, launched earlier this year, features collaborations with the world's most glamorous style icon – that's Barbie®, of course!

The 96-year-old is an interior designer and all-around style connoisseur who is well-known for her coke bottle glasses and bold red lips. The look: black oversize glasses, chunky necklaces, and bright suiting—a proper tribute to one of the most inspirational style icons of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ordinarily you wouldn’t expect anyone to clamor after a doll dressed like a still-living 96 year-old, but the Barbie Styled by Iris Apfel Dolls are anything but ordinary. Two play options: imaginative children may construct the action toy into a quadcopter or an off-road dune vehicle, then set. She has, for the past half-century been almost ubiquitous at fashion shows and in glossy magazine diary pages with her signature exuberant style and porthole glasses.It's also a fitting follow-up to the diverse group of dolls fashioned after female role models (AKA "Sheroes"), which the company introduced March 8 in honor of International Women's Day. The Barbie® Styled by Iris Apfel Dolls are available now, and lucky for you, you don't have to be a celebrity or have a date on the red carpet to add them to your collection. These boundary-breaking women include Frida Kahlo, directors Patty Jenkins and Ava Duvernay, model Ashley Graham, ballerina Misty Copeland, and Olympic athletes Gabby Douglas and Ibtihaj Muhammad (whose doll marked the first Barbie wearing a hijab).
