Iris Apfel was an iconic American style pioneer known for her bold, eclectic fashion sense, oversized glasses, and fearless embrace of individuality. A former interior designer and textile expert, she became a global symbol of self-expression, celebrated for mixing high and low fashion, vibrant colours, and striking maximalist accessories.

My upcoming collection, “IRIS”, launching mid 2026, is a vibrant celebration of her fearless spirit and unapologetic love of colour. Inspired by Iris’s iconic maximalism and her belief that more is always more, this work-in-progress collection explores bold palettes, layered textures and unexpected contrasts that echo her playful approach to style. Each piece embraces curiosity, individuality and joyful excess - honouring Iris’s legacy as a woman who turned self-expression into an art form and encouraged us all to find beauty in the unconventional.
