Iris Apfel has dozens of ideal quotes to serve as inspiration to any fashion story. Just for this one, we could use “color can raise the dead” or “when we were kids we played pretend and everyone loved it, why stop?” to translate the vibrant tones and the unexpected matches, in a styling that looks straight out of a stand at a second hand market - which, by the way, Apfel prefers over anything else.

Iris Apfel has dozens of ideal quotes to serve as inspiration to any fashion story.

Just for this one, we could use “color can raise the dead” or “when we were kids we played pretend and everyone loved it, why stop?” to translate the vibrant tones and the unexpected matches, in a styling that looks straight out of a stand at a second hand market - which, by the way, Apfel prefers over anything else. But mentioning Iris is to let her image speak for all the words she has imprinted on these 100 years of life and let us understand where the source of inspiration for the next photos comes from and how they aim to bear witness to color and freedom of speech. “When you don’t dress like everybody else, you don’t have to think like everybody else”.
