Style Piccoli Recreates Iris Apfel’s Iconic Look

We just can’t get over the exquisiteness of Iris—the granny-meets-little-girl cover story channeling fashion icon Iris Apfel for Style Piccoli‘s Nov./Dec. ’16 issue. Shot to fame after the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute devoted an entire exhibit to her extensive couture costume jewelry collection, Apfel’s personal style continues to strike a deep chord, reminding us all of the glory of self-expression through clothing. If you haven’t already, spend your next free hour watching Iris on Netflix, the disarmingly candid documentary that gives a peek into Iris’ wardrobe and also her personal philosophy of life.  And now, enjoy a few bits of wisdom and insight straight from fashion’s wise old crone, below.

“I’m not pretty, and I’ll never be pretty, but it doesn’t matter. I have something much better. I have style.”—Iris Apfel

“I don’t dress to be stared at. I dress for myself”—Iris Apfel

“I don’t have any rules, because I’d always be breaking them”—Iris Apfel

“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess”—Iris Apfel

“Personal style is curiosity about oneself” —Iris Apfel
