Iris Apfel is a 100-year-old fashion icon who dresses herself in a vibrant collage of colors and textures. NYC's Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art once exhibited her clothes and accessories, and Apfel has been called upon to design everything from makeup to kitchen appliances. Her childhood obsession with fabric scraps led Apfel and her late husband, Carl, to found the textile company Old World Weavers, which they ran from 1950 to 1992. The company produced its own versions of exotic textiles that the couple spotted abroad, resulting in work that decorated the White House during nine consecutive administrations. Speaking to “The Talks” in 2016, Apfel discouraged chasing trends. If you present yourself to the world in a way that feels authentic, it breeds a confidence that will take you far.
