This beautifully photographed book celebrates the style of fashion maverick Iris Apfel, who, over the past fifty years, has cultivated a personal chic that is exuberantly idiosyncratic Combining genres, colours, textures and patterns without regard to period, provenance or, ultimately, aesthetic convention, she is one of the few style icons ожзпл of our time More than ninety sumptuous colour plates, photographed by Eric Boman, show off a selection of extraordinary outfits on wittily posed mannequins, styled by Iris Apfel as she would wgar them, while detailed captions describe all elements of the ensembles, including their designers, fabrics and accessories Whether the pieces come from Parisian maisons de couture, American antique fairs, North African souks, Middle Eastern bazaars or tiny ateliers where they have been made to Apfel's own design, her highly original strategy of dressing constitutes a remarkable artistic exercise As the art critic Roberta Smith commented in The New York Times, 'Before multiculturalism was a word, Mrs Apfel was wearing it' Complete with a perceptive preface by Eric Boman, an introduction deconstructing the Apfel allure by the celebrated fashion authority Harold Koda, and an autobiographical text by Iris Apfel herself, exploring her lifelong love affair with style and illustrated with over sixty-five vintage photographs from her personal collection, this book is a celebration of a way of dressing-up that is nothing less than inspiring, life-enhancing, theatrical spectacle With 169 illustrations, 149 in colour Формат: 23,5 см x 31,5 см Иллюстрации Автор Eric Boman.  WitchesИздательство: Thames and Hudson, 2007 г Суперобложка, 160 стр ISBN 978-0-500-51344-6, 0-500-51344-9 Язык: Английский Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.
