Its Fashion Week in NY Perez puts the spotlight on legend Iris Apfel –

September 17, 2015 by Perez Leave a Comment

Iris Apfel is an American businesswoman, interior designer, and fashion icon.
Born in Astoria, Queens, New York, Apfel is the only child of Samuel Barrel, whose family owned a glass-and-mirror business, and his Russian-born wife, Sadye, who owned a fashion boutique.
There is a documentary abut this hip lady – if you have not seen it yet – well its time you did! Iris studied art history at New York University and attended art school at the University of Wisconsin.
As a young woman, Apfel worked for Women’s Wear Daily and for interior designer Elinor Johnson. She also was an assistant to illustrator Robert Goodman. HIP! Seriously hip! Love her!

In 1948, she married Carl Apfel. Two years later, they launched the textile firm Old World Weavers and ran it until they retired in 1992.

From 1950 to 1992, Iris Apfel took part in several design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton.

here is the clip to the Film IRIS – that all you Hip Chicks and Hip Cats should see!

Apfel consults and lectures about style and other fashion topics. In 2013, she was listed as one of the fifty best-dressed over 50s by The Guardian.
Here is a clip of the legendary decorator, textile designer, and fashion muse sharing her stories of life along with her thoughts on style and decorating.

What a night.Joni Mitchell just received the Gersh What a night.Joni Mitchell just received the Gershwin Prize. A moving and fantastic tribute with James Taylor, Graham Nash, Annie Lennox, Angelique Kidjo, Herbie Hancock, Ledisi, Diana Krall, Cyndi Lauper, and of course Brandi Carlile!! Then Joni sang 2 tunes at the end and sounded fantastic. Summer time by gershman and well I think you should check it out to see the second song she sang. I came to tear several times during the performances. Diana krall moved it. Brandy carlile spectacular Graham Nash James Taylor any Linux? It was out of the park. What a beautiful beautiful performance. You can find the show on pbs.org. If you didn't catch it tonight, I seriously suggest you catch it. Inspirational innovative Joni  Mitchel gave us so much , a true artist. A true poet. She wrote about history in the making the making, pure strength. Pure beauty.
