Iris Apfel is one of fashion’s most instantly recognizable tastemakers. The businesswoman, interior and fashion designer, and actress lived a life full of color. A New York spectacle, Iris was often seen in her eclectic looks accompanied by her signature thick circular frames.

She has graced numerous magazine covers and campaigns including an exhibit dedicated to her by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York titled “Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel.” At 91, she was Dazed’s oldest cover star. When she celebrated her 100th birthday, she marked the moment with a memorable collaboration with H&M. The collection featured larger than life brooches and necklaces, printed jacquard ensembles, and tulle jackets.

Just as much as she loves fashion, Iris extends her love for textiles and antiques with her three-bedroom Park Avenue apartment. Architectural Digest details every inch of her home as a memory box. Her home is truly every fashionista’s dream!
