91 year old Iris Apfel refers to herself as a "Rare Bird of Fashion", and that is definitely a good thing. While she is best known for her over-the-top style and large-framed glasses, this lady has over 70 years of experience in the fashion industry.
Iris is a socialite, fashion icon, interior designer, and businesswoman. She has been the subject of a string of fashion exhibits in museums, coffee table books, and even an entire fashion campaign was based on her trademark style. Iris is continuously showing the world that age ain't nothing but a number, because there is no stopping her.

What I love so much about Iris is not only that she is her own stylist, but that she has been happily married to Carl Apfel since 1948 (whoa!). Iris has established herself as one of fashion's darlings, all without compromising her individuality or humour. Iris is known to be a great storyteller, and it has been said that there isn't an outfit that she doesn't have a story to go with.
Iris' secret weapon: "When you don’t dress like everybody else, you don’t have to think like everybody else.”
AMEN sister, AMEN!
