Iris Apfel, known globally for her bold style and individuality, has died at 102. Her work appeared in the White House and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Iris Apfel, the beloved fashion icon and interior designer whose eccentric style inspired individuality, creativity and joy, has died, according to a post on her official Instagram account. She was 102. Known for her bold accessories, oversize round glasses and “totally mad” outfits, Apfel never let age slow her down.
After graduating, she worked as a copywriter for the fashion trade journal Women’s Wear Daily. She met her husband, Carl Apfel, on a Lake George, N.Y., vacation in 1947. They married a year later. She wore a pink lace wedding dress, she said, because she wanted a garment she could wear again that she wouldn’t have to put away in a box. “There was something about her that just got into me,” Carl Apfel said in “Iris.” “It’s not a dull marriage, I can tell you that.
