Iris Apfel is a fashion fan's dream come true. She's the kind of quirky doyenne who's got signature style on lock-down. I've long admired her, and have squealed whenever I came across her image in print, but I've never seen the wonderful woman in action. In all of its glory, I present to you the inimitable persona of Mrs. Iris Apfel, Textile Queen and Fashion Legend:
BTW, did you see her mehndi covered hands? At the 2:10 mark.

Respect Your Elders: Iris Apfel.
In fashion there are only a handful of people who can defy every rule, every standard, every purportedly perfect method of dress and still light the world up with their natural born sartorial skills. One member of that very small club has been popping up a lot on the fashion scene this season and she deserves every bit of attention she's getting. Ms. Iris Apfel is a rare bird indeed, an oldschool New Yorker with taste that repels the mere notion of categorization.
She's 87, an accomplished, lauded veteran of the Interior Design profession, and the co-founder of the highly reputed textile company Old World Weavers. Her signature round spectacles and a penchant for copious accessories has made her the toast of fashion town for years now.
She's a true original and one of the only living fashion legends to have been honored with a wardrobe retrospective at the Costume Institute at the Met. Loves her.
