KIMORA DEMANDS FAKE FUR COAT FOR BARBIE DOLL
Model-turned-fashion mogul KIMORA LEE SIMMONS' new Barbie doll comes with a faux-fur coat, in a bid to show young girls they can look 'fabulous' without skinning animals.

The designer and reality TV star admits she was thrilled when toymakers Mattel decided to model a Barbie in her likeness, but she had one recommendation. She says, "She has a faux-fur chinchilla coat, because I want to show kids that synthetic fur can be fabulous, too. She's everything a Barbie is supposed to be." Simmons isn't the only celebrity to inspire a modern Barbie - a Hilary Duff doll has also been created recently.
