It’s Barbie Lagerfeld! Popular Toy Gets A Chanel Makeover

Very chic.

Cathy Donohue

Mattel, the brains behind Barbie, recently announced plans to launch an entrepreneur Barbie doll and now it seems she’s going to add another skill to her already impressive CV.

Much-loved toy Barbie is set to be a world-recognised fashion designer (or at least, the next best thing) as she dresses identically to Karl Lagerfield, creative director of iconic fashion house Chanel.

Kim Culmone, global vice president of Barbie product design, told Women’s Wear Daily: “It’s not every day that Barbie dresses like the world’s most famous fashion designer”.

This limited-edition doll will be dressed in black skinny jeans, a black jacket and a white shirt featuring Mr Lagerfeld’s signature high collar.

Barbie Lagerfeld will have a range of accessories including a neck-tie, fingerless gloves and of course, dark oversized shades,which are all part of the fashion designer’s signature style.

Part of the Barbie Collector series, Barbie Lagerfeld will be launched this autumn and we can’t wait to see her!
