Wise Iris assures: “It is better to be happy than well dressed.” American designer and collector Iris Apfel released a collection of jewelry, Iris Apfel Jewelery, mainly in the form of her beloved. No surprise, you might think. How can I say, the woman is 102 years old!
Apfel believes she owes her longevity to her happy family life. She lived in perfect harmony with Karl for 67 years. He died on August 1, 2015, just 28 days short of his 101st birthday.
Apfel came up with these decorations shortly before her 102nd birthday. Costume jewelry can be bought for 40 dollars, gold items with precious stones – for $3.5 thousand – 4.7 thousand.
Iris herself has created a thriving textile restoration company. She carried out orders from the White House during the period of nine US presidents – from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton. Recalls the endless nagging of Nancy Reagan and the pickiness of Thelma Nixon.
In 1992, Apfel sold the company, but did not retire – she continued to develop design and teach at the University of Texas. At 97 years old, the brave old lady signed a contract with the IMG modeling agency and began modeling for Gucci and Uniqlo. Now she is also the face of an campaign for the cosmetics brand MAC.
