Icon - Iris Apfel

Now this is a lady that everybody should know, this fashionista was born in 1921, yes you heard right! 
Iris Apfel, this lady calls herself 'geriatric starlet' the fashion world calls her a style icon.


Iris Apfel is a interior designer, and renowned American business woman. She has even done work for the White House for nine US presidents, pretty impressive. 

An exhibition featuring lots of pieces from her wardrobe held at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute in 2005 really helped to raise her fashion profile. Suddenly just through word of mouth it made her a fashion sensation and brought her to the attention of a new age of fans and the fashion community. Not surprising when she looks as awesome as this . . .




This lady is never seen without her oversized glasses and has a jewellery collection that I would very much like to own. This Queen of kooky will continue to inspire generations to come, I want to be like her when I get to that age! 


Do you love her as much as me?
