THE BIG APFEL -Le Style-

"At the adge of 85, Iris Apfel still stop traffic in NewYork.
That's because Mrs Apfel is not overage senior. In fact, there is nothing overage about her at all.
Looking like something out of a Fellini fantasy, she is not a style original but a youthful rebel against the ordinary. With an adventurous taste for life and all the magnificent objets in it, she have spent half a decade travelling the world searching out the things that speak to her. From de srteet markets in London on the haute couture houses in Paris, via the souks of Istanbul and in the bazaars of Marrakech, her exquisite eye for digging out the most amazing treasurs and putting them all together, sometime in one look, make her one of the most sophisticaded and playful stylists of our time.
When the Metropolitan Museum of Arts exhibited her wardrobe in 2005, it pullback the curtain of a personnal vision so extraordinary that the show to cut generational times and became the inspiration for a new book.
In the amusing interview, sheis speaking of her long and distinguished carrer in textile and interor design, and why it is important to just "Throw yourself together" in a way that is you and never giving a damn what anyone should think."

Karen Blixen -Le Style-

" Elle se poudrait abondamment, soulignait ses yeux de khôl après avoir "sublimé" son regard grâce à quelques gouttes de belladone, et mélangeait haute couture française et accessoires somalis - turbans, colliers d'ambre, bracelets en peau de rhinocéros et châle brodés - en un bricolage poétique et bohème qui faisait d'elle l'une des premières hippies de luxe."
