Architectural Digest has taken it’s readers inside style mogul Iris Apfel’s Manhattan apartment. The article gives such a great insight into who she is and her career history you should pop over and read the article for yourself.
“..She had a talent for scavenging from junkyards and flea markets the kinds of furniture and fabrics that were hard to come by {in wartime}. The thrill of the hunt was contagious..”
That right there… any time I hear something like this about a person I get roped right in to their world. I tend to believe that if myself and that person were to ever meet, we’d be the best of friends forever.
“…It was her eye for unique furnishings and objects, as well as her facility with color and texture, that brought her instant success. “I don’t do run-of-the-mill stuff,” she says, “and I don’t do minimal.”…”
Got to love this woman. We have the same outlook on style but her budget’s just a tad bigger than mine.
I wish I could rummage through this apartment and treat it like a unique thrift store that was available only to me. I can see sculptures, shelves, a table, frames, books, bangles and cushions I’d walk out with.
By the way, how fabulous is that top photo of Iris? Personality plus!
