At 95, IRIS APFEL is the fashion icon we all look up to. Be inspired by her eccentric style and zest for life.
Iris Apfel is famous for calling herself the 'world's oldest teenager' because of her eccentric dress code: oversized frames, clashing prints and 'more is more' accessories. She is the only child to Samuel Barrel and Sadye. After school, Iris went on to study art history at the University of New York. Her career started at a fashion industry journal Women’s Wear Daily, and moved to work for interior designer Elinor Johnson and illustrator Robert Goodman. One of Iris's career feats was a design restoration project at the White House for nine American presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Jonson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regan and Clinton.
"I’m always pretty good at marrying pieces so that they don’t look like they were put together. When I visited the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Carl (her late husband) would go to the back of jewellers, where they’d brew us tea. I bought the most unbelievable treasures there that I sold for anything – mostly antique pieces such as harem jewellery made with mine-cut diamonds in wonderful setting."
