Final Day of Iris Apfel’s Collection
Tribute to a New York City Icon.
Last weekend, I took a long walk on Saturday morning and made a stop at Christie’s along the way. For nearly half a century, Iris Apfel captivated the world with her daring aesthetic, renowned for her fusion of colors, textures and patterns that challenged traditional fashion and design norms. A true trendsetter, Iris was known for her oversized oval glasses, silver hair, and chunky bangles. “Unapologetically Iris” presents over 200 pieces of fashion, accessories, and design from Mrs. Apfel’s collection, celebrating the vibrant and bold personal style this New York City icon.

Below are some of my favorite pieces from her collection! The last time I checked, the Lime Green Figure of Iris riding a scooter had already reached a bid of $2,600!
