Colourful

Iris Apfel`s legacy 29 August 1921 to 1 March 2024. In the summer of 2023, as Iris Apfel welcomed her 102nd birthday, she put pen to paper to write this very special project: what Iris called her legacy book. Comprising of over 200 personal photos and adorned with beautiful, unseen fabric patterns from her Old World Weaver`s collection, Iris`s incredible energy radiates from every page. Here she shares her creative work, life stories, adventures, and her unwavering belief in the essential power of colour and creativity on a life well lived. 'It has been an honour to know and to learn from Iris.' Ruvén Afanador 'A force of nature.' Tommy Hilfiger 'One of the industry`s oldest tastemakers.' Vogue This is not a book of secrets – I have no secrets. Sorry to disappoint if that`s what you`re looking for. I have some good stories though. And a few ideas. This book is about living, creating and colour. Because creativity and colour matter. I don`t want you to dress like me or think like me – that`s not the idea of this book. I want you to find the colours, confidence and creative inspiration that reflect you. My life has been filled with love, wonder and a very deep, incurable curiosity. This book is my treasure trove of inspiration, influences and ideas: My source. Be brave. Find your source. What makes you happy? Much love, Iris x
