More quotes by Iris Apfel

I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.

I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.

More is more and less is a bore.

I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.

When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.

Fashion you can buy, but style you possess.

Image
You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.

I never just went to look for clothes and style I always find that wherever I go.

The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.

Image
I think dressing up or down should be a creative experience. Exciting. Fun. For me the key to personal style lies in accessories. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight, achieving - hopefully - a kind of throwaway chic
Iris Apfel

Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.

Image
I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big they don't fit into smaller bags.
Iris Apfel
Image
There are so many empty headed people in the fashion business who take themselves way too seriously and I don't think I am at all like one of them. To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris Apfel
Image
You can't just say, I'm gonna have style. You have to work at it. It's intuitive some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.

Image
I was never hurt by what anybody said about my clothes, because I dress to please myself. If somebody doesn’t like what I’m wearing, it’s their problem, not mine
Iris Apfel
Image
You have to know yourself and know what you can carry. If you're not comfortable, no matter how well dressed you are, you're not going to look right. I'd rather be happy and feel comfy.
