Fashion icon Iris Apfel shares her philosophy for living, unique perspective on design, and the key moments that shaped her life, along with 300 photographs from her personal collection in a beautifully produced legacy book, featuring a bespoke ribbon marker, edges sprayed with a vibrant pink ink, and a debossed, high-gloss cover.
In the summer of 2023, as Iris Apfel welcomed her 102nd birthday, she put pen to paper to write this very special project, which Iris called her legacy book.
“This 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 color. Because creativity and color matter. I don’t want you to dress like me or think like me—that’s not the idea of this book. I want you to find the colors, confidence, and creative inspiration that reflect you. My life has been filled with love, wonder, and a very deep, incurable curiosity. This book is my treasure trove of inspiration, influences, and ideas: My source. Be brave. Find your source. What makes you happy? —Much love, Iris x”

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Fashion icon Iris Apfel shares her philosophy for living, unique perspective on design, and the key moments that have shaped her life, along with 300 photographs from her personal collection Iris Apfel is no stranger to bold colors, patterns, and designs-anyone can tell you that. But what is the color of happiness Well, at 102 years old, she knows a thing or two about living well, and she's ready to share her design doctrine, greatest inspirations, and life story. A one-of-a-kind tome of technicolor design, this book is a treasure trove of ideas for creative minds. Weaving in personal stories with her theories on using color, sparking imagination, and finding happiness, Apfel's words dance across the pages, just like the jazz music she loves so dearly. She shares stories about her Russian-Jewish immigrant family, growing up an only child in New York City, falling in love with her husband, Carl, getting Duke Ellington's help on a class assignment, and her many other incredible influences and lifelong friends. Apfel also ruminates on role models, speaks about her family, her education, and her cherished life lessons and experiences-all with her signature, witty one-liners. Apfel's authenticity, humor, and zest for life are on full display. With snapshots of her childhood, family, friends, and herself, Colorful is a comprehensive collection and reflection of her most important moments'. Artikel-Nr. 9781419776601
