IRIS APFEL'S NEW COLLECTION

Fashion, the majority of the time, is aimed at the young. The general assumption is that with current micro trends and throwaway fashion, there aren’t many that can pull it off over a certain age. Yet that can’t be further from the truth. Pioneers such as Vivienne Westwood and Grace Coddington are forever pushing fashion boundaries, and they aren’t fazed at all by the younger generation desperately trying to take their fashion crowns. One such icon for the older generation, and in fact, for everyone in the industry is ninety year old Iris Apfel. 

With such a unique twist on modern fashion, her bohemian vibe and penchant for red lipstick and geek chic glasses Apfel is such a creative inspiration. Once an interior designer at the White House, Apfel has recently launched a jewellery collection with YOOX.com.

There are three different collections, two created by Apfel herself and one featuring pieces from her personal collection- which is absolutely amazing!

Her contemporary ready to wear line is made with eco friendly materials including wood and resin and encompasses many modern jewellery trends.

From her personal collection she has selected one of a kind pieces that she has worn and loved over the years.

On Yoox, there is also a tribute to Iris, with images videos and messages from friends and fans alike.
