STYLE ICON: Iris Apfel





Iris Afpel has been called a "Style Doyenne". You are probably asking yourself who exactly is Iris Apfel???

Iris Apfel and her husband Carl started their company "Old World Weavers" in 1950, and ran it until they retired in 1992. During this time, Mrs Apfel took part in many design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents.

Iris Apfel still consults, and also lectures about her sense of style and other fashion topics. In 2005, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City premiered an exhibition about the fashionable style of Iris Apfel entitled Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel.
