Iris Apfel embraced individuality, intelligence, and age through bold self expression. A lifelong creative force, and unapologetic maximalist, she taught us to be true to ourselves and celebrate our differences from start to finish.

Iris Apfel showed the world how a well-loved wardrobe becomes a historical treasure while achieving global icon status at the same time. Her 2005 'Rara Avis' exhibit at the MET Museum of Art helped change our perspective.

Iris Apfel

On 1 Mar 2024: #IrisApfel, American #businesswoman, interior designer and fashion icon, died at 102.
#RIP 🎗

“The fashion industry has done itself in by neglecting the 60 to 80-year-old market.”

Iris Apfel understood that with age comes disposable income, confidence, and a lifetime of knowing what you like. Fashion refuses to look at who actually has taste, time, and money.

Every year, on the anniversary of my “quit smoking” date, i use a portion of the money i save on cigarettes and buy new glasses.

My anniversary is a month away, but when these two pairs went on sale, i decided to celebrate early.

For the Alphabet Challenge theme Multicolour, a colour photograph of a window at Bergdorf Goodman on 5th Avenue New York City in 2018, featuring the bright and colourful clothes of famous designer Iris Apfel. Six mannequins in a multicoloured jungle scene with a stuffed giraffe, gorilla and monkey, are dressed in colourful couture, an “All Things Iris Apfel” sign appears at the bottom of the window.

You can't learn style. Style, I think, is in your DNA. Iris Apfel is a 100-year-old fashion icon who dresses herself in a vibrant collage of colors and textures. NYC's Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art once exhibited her clothes and accessories, and Apfel has been called upon to design everything from makeup to kitchen appliances. Her childhood obsession with fabric scraps led Apfel and her late husband, Carl, to found the textile company Old World Weavers, which they ran from 1950 to 1992. The company produced its own versions of exotic textiles that the couple spotted abroad, resulting in work that decorated the White House during nine consecutive administrations. Speaking to “The Talks” in 2016, Apfel discouraged chasing trends. If you present yourself to the world in a way that feels authentic, it breeds a confidence that will take you far.

My screen saver.

The exuberant charm and collected maximalism of Iris Apfel's Manhattan apartment. Her home exudes the same confidence that she did. She clearly designed purely for herself. ❤️

Wear what you want? Photo by Andre Furtado on Pexels.com So, I read not long ago that apparently it is not deemed appropriate for a woman over 40 to wear red lipstick. Who came up with that I don’t know but as I thought about it, it just made me think about how many other rules there are about what we should or shouldn’t wear or how we look when we reach a certain age.

Should women change what they wear after a certain age?
