Iris Apfel is the fashion icon you may never have heard of. She and her husband ran a hugely successful textile business, and her own clothes and accessories became legendary (the 2007 book Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel chronicles her style). Now a Manhattan socialite and philanthropist, at age 91 she has added “designer” to her dossier. Her new line, Rara Avis by Iris Apfel, includes pieces that, like the necklace pictured in the previous slide, are inspired by treasures in her personal collection; all are available on HSN or at hsn.com.
