  • Legendary fashion icon Iris Apfel, who retains her passion for fashion at age 96 sits down with Donna Farizan, aka Donnadorable. Apfel says the secret to fashion success is: “You have to be original, but not to the point of nutsy.” And she has some blunt opinions: She loves over-the knee boots, but expensive ripped jeans are “insanity.”

    She's a very lucky lady because she met and married a man who loved her for herself and was confident enough not to care when people looked twice at her amazing outfits. Real men like that, who are comfortable in their skin and confident enough to allow their lady to live her life as her most authentic self are as rare as hen's teeth!

      she would seem a lot more confident if she didn't sit around moaning about styles she doesn't like. i don't even own any ripped jeans or care much either way. but hearing old people be nasty and hateful about things younger people like.. it's sad and pathetic. like, get your head up above all that. you're 100 years old, fcs. lol

    • @413smr
      @413smr 2 года назад +1

      Are they still a thing? I've hardly been out for the past year and a half. Once at a midtown subway station, a woman walked by wearing jeans that were ripped from one end of the leg to the other, approx. 12 rips in each leg. A minute later, another woman, same jeans - same # of rips. I wonder if manufacturers charge by the rip and if there's 24 rips in a pair, they must be really expensive! /s

    I love her. I wore big round glasses in the sixties (went to a fashion school). .Even my teachers never got it ( well perhaps it was just the academic ones). I worked at Bonwit Teller(first job),then moved to L.A. So square back then, just hippies and conservatives. No fashionistas. Did I say I lover her?
