Fashion icon Iris Apfel Has Passed Away At Age 102.
The self-described "geriatric starlet" was recognizable due to her massive beads, bright lipstick, huge spectacles, and short white hair.

She also catered to several well-known people, such as Greta Garbo and Estée Lauder.
Apfel's death was shared on Instagram with her almost three million followers, along with a photo of her famously large round spectacles.
One American designer who paid respect to Apfel was Tommy Hilfiger, who described her as an "innovator and leader" in the textile and fashion industries who "will go down in history".
In a 2018 interview, she was questioned about ageing and her response was, "I wouldn't want to stop the clock." No, that would be really dull. It would resemble becoming trapped in a time warp or time machine. That doesn't sit well with me. I believe that diversity adds flavour to life.Apfel is shown here celebrating her 100th birthday in 2021.
May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
