They said whaat? Iris speaks !

Love this shoot and video of the nonagenarian style icon Iris Apfel from FT’s How to Spend it

“I don’t think old age should dictate what you wear or how you should wear it”

“A friend said to me  Oh my god You have done something that no  one in the worldd have ever done: You have made growing old cool “

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected I would labelled as a fashion icon or photographed but it’s wonderful”

“I am not doing anything in a another way that I did 50 years ago but all of sudden I am cool haha”

“There are no rules : it’s the way I feel I don’t’ know I can’t make a rule about it”

“I like to make my own my mark on what I wear otherwise I feel stupid”

“People should try to personalise their outfit: it makes life more interesting and gives them a chance to be a bit creative”.

“I think the biggest fashion faux pas these days is looking into the mirror and seeing somebody else: Doesn’t work. You have to know who you are”.

“There are old people at 35 and young ones at 94”

“I think getting dressed should be very joyful and creative experience”.

“If getting dressed and putting things together is a big, big chore and it makes you miserable it’s better to be happy than well dressed”.
