It’s life in plastic for Iris Apfel.
Mattel has modeled a Barbie after New York’s 96-year-old fashion icon, who’s famed for her idiosyncratic look.
Before you clear space in your Barbie dream house for her, you should know that doll Apfel, like her human counterpart, is a one-of-a-kind model and not available for sale.
“Her long-spanning career makes her the perfect subject of a one-of-a-kind doll, the highest honor Barbie bestows,” a Matel representative tells The Post in a statement.
The mini-Apfel wears the same striking green Gucci suit and eye-popping jewels the real-life Apfel wears on the cover of her latest book, “Accidental Icon.”
The fashionable figurine also flaunts Apfel’s signature round glasses and bright-white do and — curiously — a wrinkle-free face.
Perhaps, that’s not so shocking: After all, Barbie’s known for setting impossible beauty standards.
But Mattel has seemingly been on a mission to rework Barbie into a more realistic, empowering figure for girls, as CNN reports.
Last week, to celebrate International Women’s Day, the brand released a “Sheroes” collection, featuring doll versions of model Ashley Graham, ballerina Misty Copeland and artist Frida Kahlo, among others. (The Kahlo doll unfortunately backfired for the brand: The late artist’s great niece took the company to task for using Kahlo’s likeness without her permission, and critics pointed out that the doll was too unrealistic.)
These girl-power dolls come at an important time for the Barbie brand: Toys R Us, which sold 14 percent of Mattel’s products in North America in 2017, announced plans to sell or close all of its US stores.
