IRIS APFEL
For nearly half a century, Iris Apfel was beloved for her bold aesthetic, known for seamlessly combining colors, textures and patterns in new ways, redefining traditional notions of fashion and design. She was undeniably a trendsetter, instantly recognizable by her oversized oval glasses, silver hair and arms adorned with chunky bangles. Her originality was unmatched, with a distinctive style characterized by an eclectic mix of high and low fashion, harmoniously blending couture with flea market discoveries. The collection of Mrs Apfel showcases the brilliant and bold personal style of a New York City icon.
Iris Apfel captivated the world with her brilliant and bold style over a thrilling eight-decade career. An interior designer, textile entrepreneur, businessperson and fashion icon who became a model at age 97, Apfel embraced daring individuality and helped rewrite the rules of style.
Dubbed ‘the matriarch of maximalism’ by the BBC, she was known for her embrace of bold patterns, copious accessories and fearless colour choices.
‘When you don’t dress like everyone else, you don’t have to think like everyone else,’ she told the New York Times in 2011. Fashion, for Apfel, was the ultimate form of self-expression, an unmatched way to tell your own story.
Long a fixture of the fashion world, Apfel became a household name in 2005 with Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Barrel Apfel Collection, an exhibition of her wardrobe at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The show marked the first exhibition where the Costume Institute had featured a living person who was not a fashion designer. After Rara Avis (meaning ‘rare bird’), Apfel’s star continued to rise as she collaborated with brands from MAC Cosmetics to Swarovski and H&M. In 2014, when Apfel was 93, she was the focus of Albert Maysles’ documentary Iris. In 2018, she modelled for Vogue, and Mattel released a Barbie in her name. In 2019, she signed as a model to IMG at 97. Her Instagram account boasts more than three million followers.
Don’t listen to the experts,’ she once mused. ‘Listen to yourself. Listen to what you love. You will not make a mistake.’ The clothes she wore and the objects with which she surrounded herself affirm this sentiment.
