In my last post I mentioned fashion legend Iris Apfel. A self confessed ‘accessory freak’ I’ve always been aware of but never looked greatly in depth at. That was until today. In our seminar last week my lecturer made it clear we need to know more about fashion history, and the more I thought about it the more I realised I have little to no knowledge on the history of fashion. That being said, I’ve made it my mission, in between doing actual uni assignments, to research more on what’s made fashion what it is today, and Iris seemed the perfect place to start. An eccentric dresser, true New Yorker, and all round cool lady, Iris is the kind of 96 year old we should all aim to be.
