Fashionista Iris Apfel has been immortalised as a Barbie doll

Veteran Jewish fashion guru Iris Apfel has been immortalised in the most fashion-friendly way possible: as a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll.

The 96-year-old fashionista, who was listed as one of The Guardian’s 50 "Best-Dressed over 50" in 2013, began her life in fashion as a young woman working on Women’s Wear Daily.

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.
