Among the many things said about her, there is one that is particularly interesting: apparently she was the first woman to wear a pair of jeans. It would only\u00a0be\u00a0one of the thousand things this wonderful 93-year-old woman, who is till this day much talked about, did in her life. Who are we talking about? Iris Apfel<\/strong>, muse, creative mind and style icon. She started as interior designer, she had founded a textile company named\u00a0Old World Weavers\u00a0with her beloved husband Carl. They even collaborated on White House restorations, she worked with 9 different Presidents there. \u00a0She inherited a great passion for fashion from her mother, even though she dislikes being called a fashionista. She becomes a style icon, especially due to her positive attitude and a fun and playful lifestyle. White hair, iconic round black glasses, big colorful jewelry pieces that she often wears one on top of the other make her instantly recognizable. A documentary entirely dedicated to her and directed by the great\u00a0Albert Maysles\u00a0will be released on\u00a0April<\/a>\u00a029th<\/a>\u00a0(watch the trailer below) and we cannot wait to watch it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
