Iris Apfel is one of the most fashionable, eccentric and well-dressed women in the world. Famous for boldly saying “More is more and less is a bore” about dressing, Iris is no stranger to standing out in the crowd.<\/p>\n

She has always insisted that she doesn’t dress to get stared at, she dresses for herself. She considers fashion, just like her work in interior design, to be an art form. Her look is truly unforgettable, making her a serious style icon even at the golden age of 95!<\/p>\n

In her early career, Iris worked for Women’s Wear Daily and later as an assistant to interior designer Elinor Johnson. She also worked under\u00a0illustrator Robert Goodman so her working life has always been dedicated to the creative industry – which explains her great eye for fashion.<\/p>\n

After marrying, she started her own business in textiles and has been a renowned interior queen\u00a0and style\u00a0icon ever since. As a leading lady in fashion, she’s usually easily recognised by her bright red lipstick, her super cool purple hair and of course, those signature\u00a0specs.<\/p>\n

The iconic Iris Apfel glasses are seriously oversized, ultra-round and thick rimmed. Geek chic meets retro granny meets\u00a0supersized hipster. If you love her crazy, colourful and eccentric sense of style, steal her look with a huge pair\u00a0of glasses and don’t forget to team with a slick of red lip colour.<\/p>\n

Here are 4 awesome looks that will give you some spectacle style inspiration.<\/p>\n

Large, oversized round glasses with big, chunky accessories is Iris’ signature style and we love how this outfit brings together contemporary textures with classic shapes in such a sophisticated way.<\/p>\n

Worn with all black, these frames look on trend but timeless at the same time.\u00a0Steal Iris Apfel’s spectacle style with the\u00a0Miu Miu MU 06NV<\/a><\/strong> frames in Opal Black. \"iris<\/p>\n

This look is as bold as it gets. Her signature red lipstick has been complemented with the bold red glasses. It seems that Iris loves her oversized round glasses\u00a0so much that she has a pair in every colour!<\/p>\n

Clashing colours make this outfit come alive\u00a0and we can’t enough of the contrasting hues.\u00a0Get the Iris Apfel look with these\u00a0MaxMara Occhiali MM 1256<\/a><\/strong> glasses, featuring a sizeable 54 lens for oversized style. \"iris<\/p>\n

Taking it back to the classics, Iris goes for tortoiseshell in this look. The mottled print of her specs adds a softness to her look, which blends in seamlessly with her choice of beige and oatmeal hues.<\/p>\n
