Description
Iris Apfel: A Style Maverick Iris Apfel is a true original, a fashion icon whose unique style combines seemingly disparate elements with remarkable panache. This book showcases her extraordinary outfits, featuring over ninety sumptuous color plates, photographed by Eric Boman, and accompanied by detailed captions that reveal the story behind each piece. From Dior haute couture to flea-market finds, and from nineteenth-century ecclesiastical vestments to Navajo turquoise, Apfel's eclectic style is a testament to her boundless creativity. The book also explores her audacious accessories, including a giant necklace made of bear claws and a parrot's-head brooch in colored glass and rhinestones. With an introduction by Harold Koda and an essay by Apfel herself, this book is a fascinating glimpse into the life and style of a true fashion legend.
