American businesswoman, former interior designer, fashion icon and philanthropist Iris Apfel has home decor as eclectic and interesting as its 89 year old inhabitant. A collage of colours, textures and shapes taken from 16th & 17th century glory adorn this incredibly visual Manhatten apartment.
In 1950, Iris and husband, Carl launched their textile firm Old World Weavers and ran it successfully until retirement in 1992. During this time, Iris lent her talents to many design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan and Clinton. Iris still consults, and lectures about style and other fashion topics.
