Rare Bird of Fashion - Iris Apfel

 

 

 

The latest IT girl Mrs Iris Apfel, actually she has been on the scene since there was a scene to be on.  90yr old Iris Apfel  is an amazing women in fashion, starting out as a copywriter for WWD. From there she moved onto creating textiles with her husband at their firm, Old World Weavers for the white house & clients such as Estee Lauder.  Iris became a permanent fixture on the New York social scene, often being photographed in the style section of the New York Times.   Recently when asked if she is ever tempted to say something to someone who she thinks looks dreadful she replied, 'Oh, now that would be horrible. It's a free country - if you want to look like a freak, that's your problem.'

LOVE HER.

Tales of Endearment

There is so much to look at on Tales of Endearment. Talent scout Natalie Joos hangs out with fashionable ladies from all corners of the globe, photographs them in their apartments and takes them vintage shopping for impromptue fashion shoots. Love it.

Cable Cars in Cable Sweaters

We are coming into a very hot Aussie summer, but I will be spending a month of it in America- San Francisco and New York to be exact. So whilst my buddies are gearing up for the beach and fresh summer fruits and long lazy picnics in the shining sun, I am thinking about knit scarves, gloves, layers of warmth and texture and frosty frosty air. And I am so very excited. The above editorial from Glamour magazine is definitely getting me in the mood... chunky pullovers to snuggle into and a splash-mash of patterns. Less than a month to go!
