NEW YORK – Iris Apfel è morta il 1 marzo 2024. Aveva 102 anni. La straordinaria vita dell'imprenditrice e interior designer (come designer ha ristrutturato la Casa Bianca di nove presidenti) è ampiamente nota. Ecco alcuni punti salienti in questa raccolta di foto, momenti e citazioni in memoria della defunta grande icona dello stile. @iris.apfel "La moda si può comprare, ma lo stile va posseduto." È nata ad Astoria, quartiere di New York, unica figlia di Samuel Barrel (1897-1967), la cui famiglia possedeva un'azienda di vetri e specchi, e sua moglie di origini russe, Sadye Barrel (nata Asofsky) (1898-1998), proprietaria di una boutique di moda. Entrambi i genitori erano ebrei. Cresciuta in una fattoria coi genitori ed i nonni, spesso prende la metropolitana per esplorare Manhattan, dove si innamora del quartiere del Greenwich Village. Poco più che bambina, inizia a fare acquisti nei negozi di antiquariato della zona, dando così il via alla sua straordinaria collezione di gioielli da tutto il mondo. Sono proprio i genitori a spingerla agli studi universitari e a insegnarle ad ascoltare istinto e curiosità. Dopo aver studiato storia all'Università di New York, e aver frequentato l'accademia d'arte presso l'Università del Wisconsin-Madison, ha iniziato a lavorare collaborando con la rivista Women's Wear Daily, considerata "la Bibbia della moda",lavorando anche come collaboratrice dell'illustratore Robert Goodman. Fin da subito Iris si contraddistingue nel jetset per le sue scelte originali e stravaganti che le permettono di essere incoronata fashion Icon. Il suo motto è "More is More & Less is a Bore", anticipa le tendenze e non passa mai inosservata, sdoganando un eccesso sempre di classe e mai pacchiano. Con il passare del tempo e delle sue apparizioni mondane maxi collane e bracciali importanti dal sapore etnico sono diventati suoi segni distintivi, insieme agli ormai iconici occhiali da sole rotondi ed esageratamente grandi. In un'intervista al Guardian ha dichiarato di non essere mai stata una fan di Coco Chanel. «Non sono bella, e non lo sarò mai. Ma non importa. Posseggo qualcosa di molto meglio: lo stile.» Il 22 febbraio 1948 ha sposato Carl Apfel (n. 4 agosto 1914 – m. 1 agosto 2015[7]), con il quale ha avviato anche un sodalizio artistico e lavorativo avviando la loro industria tessile, la Old Wild Weavers, avviata nel 1950 e chiusa nel 1992, anno del loro ritiro dall'attività lavorativa. Nel frattempo ha lavorato anche come interior designer e disegnatrice di tessuti, progettando gli interni anche per la Casa Bianca, in particolar modo durante le presidenze di Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan e Clinton. Il successo della coppia non conosce confini e non si limita all'ambiente presidenziale, cureranno anche le scelte di stile degli architetti delle star, come ad esempio l'architetto di Greta Garbo, Estée Lauder e Montgomery Clift. Iris è sempre stata appassionata di arte oltre che di moda, e ha collezionato oggetti e accessori fashion provenienti da tutto il mondo, talvolta scovati nei mercatini dell'usato in giro per l'Italia e l'Europa. «Se dovessi per forza scegliere tra spendere molti soldi per gli accessori o un vestito, di sicuro sceglierei gli accessori. Credo che siano i gioielli a cambiare un look, più di ogni altra cosa.» Ricordando Iris Apfel (New York, 29 agosto 1921 – 1º marzo 2024) 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐢 𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐨: 1) Iris Apfel.

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance and eclectic style of Iris Apfel with these earrings. These jewels feature Iris Apfel's face, her large glasses, and her ever-present necklaces, but these glasses are a tribute to spring and the blooming of flowers. The choice of colors is very wide, and all the necklaces are made with different stones, but perfectly matched to the setting. The asymmetry of the earrings, given by the contrast between sunglasses and eyeglasses, is accentuated by the change in color of the beads. Although they are important in size, they are light and comfortable to wear. Wear them with an elegant dress for a touch of eccentricity on a special evening or with a casual outfit to add an element of surprise to your daily routine. The earrings measure approximately 7 cm Each product was designed, laser cut and assembled by Arkyfly.

I love the style and exuberance of Iris Apfel. Later in her career she has become know more for her fashion sense than for her interior decorating While I admire her as a fashionista, (some refer to her as the queen of boho chic), it is her decorating that I want to focus on in this mini tribute. I want to invite you to tour her New York apartment. Born Iris Barrel in Astoria, Queens, New York, Apfel is the only child of Samuel Barrel, whose family owned a glass-and-mirror business, and his Russian-born wife, Sadye, who owned a fashion boutique. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin’s art school, she wanted a career in fashion. However, she went to work for an interior decorator who Iris said " couldn't decorate her way out of a shoebox". But this lady had a talent for scavenging from junkyards and flea markets the kinds of furniture and fabrics that were fabulous. Iris caught the decorating bug and the loved the thrill of the hunt. She decided she could be better than her employer and realized she had found her calling.Her eye for unique furnishings and objects, as well as her facility with color and texture, brought her instant success. “I don’t do run-of-the-mill stuff,” she says, “and I don’t do minimal.” Most people know that other than French County, I design in a multi-layered and textured style and love interesting objets d'art. So it is natural that I would love and admire the decorating style of Iris Apfel. I just wanted to share her with those of you who may not be aware of her talent and fabulousness! "My mother wore a lot more makeup than I. She was a totally different type. She had more of the look of the Duchess of Windsor—she was very put together, and she was very very picture perfect. There was never a hair out of place. Her clothes were more feminine, and very ladylike—very elegant." Iris studied art history at NYU before going to work for Women's Wear Daily and later for interior designer, Elinor Johnson. In 1948, she married Carl Apfel and launched the textile firm, Old World Weavers which they ran until 1992. Their clients included the White House during nine different presidencies. (The Apfels sold the company to Stark Carpet in 1992.) Her fabulous apartment. Pictures of Iris Apfel's apartment are from Architectural Digest. Known for her eclectic mixing of haute couture with costume jewelry and exotic baubles, Apfel has inspired bold developments in the fashion industry through her spirited irreverence and pitch-perfect taste. She burst into black type in 2005, when an exhibition of her colorful and extravagantly accessorized wardrobe was a sensation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. "Coco Chanel once said that what makes a woman look old is trying desperately to look young. Why should one be ashamed to be 84? Why do you have to say that you're 52? Nobody's going to believe you anyway, so why be such a fool? It's nice that you got to be so old. It's a blessing." “Getting older ain’t for sissies, I’ll tell you. It’s very funny. You have to push yourself when you’re older, because it’s very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart—you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important. When your mind is busy, you don’t hurt so much. Thank God I love to do things". "At ninety, I have all these new careers—a makeup collection with MAC, working on glasses for Eye Bobs, I’m on Home Shopping and on YOOX, and I do a big program with the fashion school at the University of Texas at Austin—they made me a professor". BRAVO IRIS!!

With remarkable panache and discernment, Iris Apfel combines styles, colors, textures, and patterns without regard to period, provenance, or aesthetic conventions. Now in her mid-eighties, she is a unique style icon. Over ninety sumptuous color plates, photographed by Eric Boman, show off a selection of Apfel's extraordinary outfits on wittily posed mannequins, some sporting her trademark outsized spectacles. The originality of her style is typically revealed in her mixing of Dior haute couture with flea-market finds, Dolce & Gabbana lizard trousers with nineteenth-century ecclesiastical vestments, pink Lanvin worn with ropes of Navajo turquoise. Apfel's eclectic pieces might come from a Parisian couture house, an American thrift shop, or a North African souk, or they may have been made to her own design in a tiny studio. Detailed captions describe every aspect of the outfits, including names and dates of designers, plus full information on fabrics and accessories. A selection of audacious accessories also comes under the spotlight: a giant necklace made of bear claws, a turn-of-the-century Indian horse ornament worn as a necklace, a parrot's-head brooch in colored glass and rhinestones. The book includes an introduction by Harold Koda, director of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and an essay by Apfel herself, describing her lifelong love affair with style and illustrated with vintage photographs from her personal collection. 169 illustrations, 149 in color., This beautifully photographed book celebrates the style of fashion maverick Iris Apfel, who, over the past fifty years, has cultivated a personal chic that is exuberantly idiosyncratic.

Complete with a perceptive preface by Eric Boman, an introduction deconstructing the Apfel allure by celebrated fashion authority Harold Koda, an autobiographical text by Iris Apfel herself and more than sixty vintage photographs from her personal collection, this book is a celebration of a way of dressing-up that is nothing less than inspiring, life-enhancing, theatrical spectacle., With remarkable panache and discernment, Iris Apfel combines styles, colors, textures, and patterns without regard to period, provenance, or aesthetic conventions.
