Iris Apfel: Fashion Icon, Fashion Maverick, and in her own words a "Geriatric Starlet"

Iris! The amazing artist and fashion icon Iris Apfel is my new favorite style star. At 94 this New York artist still influences the world with her unique combinations of INCREDIBLE collections of clothes and jewelry she's amassed over the last 8 decades. Nobody does ensembles like Iris, I think it's safe to say! The world needs more people like her, artists that aren't interested in what's "pretty" but what is interesting. Curious people that care about history, but look to the future. Iris is a conduit for all of us - a link from the beautiful, gorgeous, ornate, frivolous, exquisite past, to the exciting, liberated, colorful future she would design herself if she could. Iris is an artist who lives her work, who spreads color and common sense wherever she goes. Thank you Iris Apfel, for giving us all a look at the possibilities of things. For the endless expression of joy and appreciation that you make, just by being yourself everyday!

Do yourself a favor this weekend and watch the documentary "Iris" about her extraordinary life. It'll put a smile on your face. Streaming on netflix. xoxoxo DR
