HEROES: IRIS APFEL

Picture-1

I mean, really?

So Iris Apfel is possibly the coolest lady of all time with the greatest wardrobe in the history of the universe. Luckily for us, the Peabody Essex Museum in Mass is exhibiting her collection of clothing, jewelry and other magical objects. Thank you, Jesus.

More info and pics after the jump. And yes, that’s an ostrich that her clothes are riding.

I saw this exhibit back in 2001 at the Met and it blew my mind. I’m going again. I remember seeing other galaxy like Geofrey Beene pieces. I thought that was just stuffy tweed stuff in gross catalogues. Oh, no my friends. Not back in the day. Go. And be educated.

The exhibit is running from now until February 7th. The peabody is in Salem, Massachusetts. Admission is a measly 15 bucks. 

Oh, and Iris is on Facebook. Lady sure is hip.
