"Fashion Icon Iris Apfel, 102, Passes Away"
Iris Apfel, the New York society matron and interior designer known for her brash bohemian style and eclectic wardrobe, has passed away at the age of 102. Rising to fame in her 80s and 90s, she became a fashion icon with her irreverent and clamorous ensembles, mixing hippie vintage with haute couture and reveling in contradictions. Her unique style and willfully disjunctive accessories made her a standout figure in the fashion world, and her wardrobe formed a hit exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
