Designer doll brings Net-a-Porter $ 200, 000

The Barbie of the fashion czar made already in the apron for rapture, yesterday she was finally there - and just as quickly gone again. Likely a toy may have been rare.

One wonders a bit if someone really will play with the sculpted Chanel designer. After all, the Lagerfeld Barbie is a Limited Edition of 999 pieces, which was sold out within a few hours at the luxury outlet Net-a-Porter.

For $ 200 yesterday it was a real bargain, considering that the doll is only available on Ebay today - but now for a proud 900-3500 dollars.

That Barbie Lagerfeld would be a complete success, certainly not really surprised. The sketches betrayed in advance: A new Ken would not give it for the doll house, but with a feminine version of Emperor Karl, we can make friends at least as well. At the other, everything is pretty familiar: shirt, suit, hairstyle and even the facial expression she got inherited from the creator ...

Slowly we wonder if anything can go wrong that Karl Lagerfeld tackles. In any case, we would not be surprised if the cat collection of his pet Choupette would find a similarly racy paragraph.
