August 29th would have been Iris Apfel’s 103rd birthday. This photo was taken on her birthday last year. The style icon and legendary interior designer passed away in March 2024. Apfel was born Iris Barrel in 1921 to a Jewish family in New York. Fashion was in her blood; her mother, Sadye, owned a clothing boutique in Queens. Fast forward ten decades, and Apfel made a unique mark on the fashion world, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. May her memory be a blessing.
