Colourful

In the summer of 2023, as Iris Apfel welcomed her 102nd birthday, she put pen to paper to write this very special project: what Iris called her legacy book. Comprising of over 200 personal photos and adorned with beautiful, unseen fabric patterns from her Old World Weaver’s collection, Iris’s incredible energy radiates from every page.

Here she shares her creative work, life stories, adventures, and her unwavering belief in the essential power of colour and creativity on a life well lived. 'It has been an honour to know and to learn from Iris.' Ruvén Afanador'A force of nature.' Tommy Hilfiger'One of the industry’s oldest tastemakers.' VogueThis is not a book of secrets – I have no secrets. Sorry to disappoint if that’s what you’re looking for.

I have some good stories though. And a few ideas. This book is about living, creating and colour.
