AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This edition pays tribute to Iris Apfel (1921–2024), a major figure in American fashion, textile design, and visual culture. Founder of Old World Weavers in 1950 with her husband Carl, she worked for the White House under nine presidents, undertaking unique historical restoration projects in textiles and decoration. Iris became a global icon after the 'Rara Avis' exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2005, then continued an exceptional career: fashion collaborations, documentaries, publications, exhibitions, and, at 97, a contract with IMG Models agency, making her the oldest top model in the world.
His personal collections have also been showcased in prestige sales, testifying to their cultural importance.
The doll features iconic elements of Iris Apfel's style: round black glasses, a taste for sculptural silhouettes, rich patterns inspired by artisanal textiles, layered accessories, and a contrasting palette. The ensemble embodies the spirit of her maximalist approach, 'More is more,' making it instantly recognizable. The box depicts Iris's distinctive decorative universe, blending classic references, fantasy, and sophistication.
Sought-after model from the Barbie Signature line, particularly appreciated since Iris's disappearance in 2024.
