BillyBoy* (born 10 March 1960)[7][8] is an artist, socialite and fashion designer who was a muse of Andy Warhol.[1][2][9][15] Born in Vienna, he was adopted by a Russian couple and moved to New York City when he was four.

In 1979 BillyBoy* began to design and manufacture costume jewellery under the label Surreal {{lang|fr|Bijoux}} in Paris.[9]

A bracelet made by BillyBoy* and owned by Elizabeth Taylor was sold at auction in 2011 for $6,875.[10]

BillyBoy* had a collection of over 11,000 Barbie dolls and 3,000 Ken dolls, and in 1987 authored the book Barbie: Her Life and Times.[11] During 1984–1990 Mattel sponsored two tours called {{lang|fr|Le nouveau théâtre de la mode}} (New Theatre of Fashion) curated by BillyBoy*. Like the original 1945-{{lang|fr|Théâtre de la Mode}} the exhibitions consisted of hundreds of dolls—in this case Barbie dolls—wearing miniature outfits made by Yves Saint Laurent and other prominent fashion designers.[12][20] The exhibition toured France on board a TGV-train entitled {{lang|fr|Le Train magique des jouets Mattel.}}.[13] BillyBoy* designed two Barbie dolls for Mattel working as a designer and consultant, "{{lang|fr|Le Nouveau Théâtre de la mode}}" in 1984 and "Feelin' Groovy" in 1986.[14][23] After finishing working with Mattel, BillyBoy* formed the "BillyBoy* Toys" company,[23] and in 1989 BillyBoy* and his partner released the Mdvanii fashion doll.

Warhol's last work Barbie, Portrait of BillyBoy* was a painting of BillyBoy* depicted as a Barbie Doll and was presented to BillyBoy* in New York on 10 February 1986.[15][23][16] The painting was gifted to BillyBoy* and hung in his living room.[17] In 2014 the painting sold at the auction house Christie's for £722,500 ($1,161,780).[18][19] A second version of Warhol's painting, this time with an orange-red background instead of blue, was created for and purchased by Mattel.[16][19]

In 1978 or 1979 BillyBoy* moved to Paris,[9] where later his shop would be at 6 Rue de la Paix, Paris.[20] In 1993 BillyBoy* and his partner Jean Pierre Lestrade ("Lala") moved to Trouville-sur-Mer in France,[6] then in 1997 to Switzerland,[5][6] and finally in 2011 to Delémont,[5] the capital of the Canton of Jura[5] and near Basel. On 6 February 2012 BillyBoy* and Jean Pierre Lestrade married at the L’Hôtel de Ville in Délémont.[2]

On 13 February 1998 BillyBoy* and Lestrade founded the {{lang|fr|Fondation Tanagra}} non-profit in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.[21] In 2012 the website of the Foundation was updated to reflect the creation of a future museum in Delémont.[22]

He was a close friend of the designer Alexander McQueen.[23][24]
