Iris Apfel: Fashion's Timeless Icon

Iris Apfel's passion for fashion ignited in her childhood, rummaging through her grandmother's fabric scraps. Her journey led her to a flourishing textile and interior design venture alongside her husband. However, at the age of 84, she emerged as the renowned style maven known today.

In 2005, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute dedicated an exhibit to Apfel, catapulting her into the limelight as a self-proclaimed "geriatric starlet." Since then, she has thrived in fashion, establishing herself as a model and inspiring her own Barbie doll.

At 97, Apfel penned her memoir, "Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon," showcasing her remarkable journey. Remarkably, at 102, she continues actively contributing to and shaping the fashion industry, illustrating that age is no barrier to passion and creativity.
