the moment before linda int he black striped jacket and turbin spins around and selfies!
Casually, I get off the elevator on the 3rd floor of Bergdorf Goodman and suddenly I am witnessing Chirstie Brinkley flanked by Tommy Hilfiger and Dee his wife all taking a selfie with Linda Fargo . Ha ha Iris can draw a crowd .....And then I knew this was going to be quite a store event.
I quickly text my friend the Sr.Stylist and Shopper at Bergdorf's for over 15 years, Vanessa Sterbenz and ask where she is stationed in this jungle of printed fabrics, metallics, sequins, and other outfits of importance.
We find each other and get inline for drinks. Cut crystal in pink and clear flutes of champagne are passed around and the line to see the honorable Iris and her exclusive Barbie doll is getting long fast. Fans, Celebrities, Fashion people, People trying too hard, everyone was there - It was great! Who would have thought!
The barbie is a tiny duplicate of the 90 plus year old Iris. Black glasses and all. It was part of a collection of special honorary Barbie dolls. And it wad a perfect excuse to shop the floor of Bergdof's look at Linda's selections and have a really fabulous time creating an only in New York, experience.
