The fabulous 90-year-old fashionista Iris Apfel chats to The telegraph.co.uk
‘Now when I walk down Fifth Avenue in the summertime I just want to throw up.”
‘It seems that the fatter and uglier people are, the fewer clothes they wear. ”
“The shorts and flip-flops and tight jeans on butts that go from here to Poughkeepsie.”
“Especially stretch jeans over [US] size 10 - they should be outlawed. ”
“I always say they should put people in jail for wearing clothes like that”
“Ten years ago people were starting to look like slobs in New York, now it’s an epidemic.’
” It’s a free country - if you want to look like a freak, that’s your problem.’
“As a child I watched every day as my very chic ‘maman’ worshipped at the altar of the Accessory”
“I can’t tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It’s just instinctive.”
