Geriatric Style Icon Steals the Show on Vanity Fair Best Dressed List
This is who I want to be when I’m of a certain age. Iris Apfel, “geriatric starlet and founder of Old World Weavers” is badass. The necklace. The glasses. She’s rocking that cane like nobody’s business. Apfel is 86, and she’s on Vanity Fair’s 2008 international best dressed list in its 69th year running, which was released Tuesday. Quotable quote when asked what fashion item she cannot live without: “Do you have a favorite child?” Let’s assume the fur is faux, shall we?
Another favorite is Carine Roitfeld, French Vogue’s editor in chief. She was already one of my favorite style icons, but I love her all the more now that I know her style icon is Christopher Walken.
