Joe Mimran’s Barbie look-alike doll even sports velvet slippers

Joe Mimran (right) and his look-alike doll

*Sigh* Why must companies tease us by trotting out cult-y items that we want to own, but cannot actually buy? Case in point: Joe Mimran just had a Ken doll made in his image to celebrate Joe Fresh Style’s current line of Barbie merch. The doll has Mimran’s signature hair and is dressed in his signature blazer and open collar shirt and his signature velvet slippers complete with their signature crest. It’s so covetable. And so one-of-a-kind. Boo.

Mimran is the first Canadian celebrity to have such a doll made for him. This sounds about right–the Joe Fresh Show is, season-after-season, the hottest ticket at Toronto Fashion Week and Mimran himself is a bit of a cult figure in the Canadian fashion industry.

Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Rachel Zoe, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oprah are among those who’ve also gotten the one-of-a-kind Barbie treatment. That would make a hell of a fun tea party, no?

I wonder what it looks like without its velvet slippers? Can you say foot fetish?!!
