Mattel, Inc. and KARL LAGERFELD today announced the official global launch date and retail availability of the highly-anticipated collector doll, Barbie Lagerfeld. The Platinum-label Barbie doll will be offered in limited quantities through exclusive retail channels including; NET-A-PORTER.COM, select KARL LAGERFELD retail stores, TheBarbieCollection.com, and Colette in Paris. The worldwide retail launch is set for Monday, September 29, 2014.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Ms. Barbie Lagerfeld to our customers around the world. She truly encapsulates Karl’s signature monochromatic look and is sure to become the perfect collector’s item,” says Alison Loehnis, President, NET-A-PORTER.COM. “We have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with both the Karl and Mattel teams and are delighted to be partnering on such a fun and fabulous collaboration.”
Taking inspiration from the designer’s signature style, Barbie Lagerfeld is dressed in the designer’s likeness with accents taken from the real KARL LAGERFELD line. Borrowing from Karl’s iconic silhouette, the doll wears a tailored black jacket, white high-collared men’s shirt with French cuffs and black satin cravat finished off with fitted black jeans featuring the iconic all-over head print. The exclusive doll is adorned in accessories that include black fingerless gloves, sunglasses, black ankle boots and a black leather purse with silver metallic accents.
“We couldn’t be more excited about Barbie Lagerfeld – bringing together two of fashion’s most celebrated icons in such a legendary way has been an incredibly rewarding experience for all of us,” said Kim Culmone, Vice President Global Product Design, Barbie. “The doll is a true celebration of both fashion legends.”
