The Style Icon – Iris Apfel
The style icon for the week is a living legend in the fashion industry. She has been around for 93 years now and she is still doing her fabulous thing. Say hello to flamboyant fashionista – Iris Apfel. 
Iris Apfel is an American businesswoman, interior designer and fashion icon. In 2013, this style icon was listed as one of the 50 best dressed over 50s by The Guardian and we can see why. This woman is aging gracefully, she is what I like to call an Advanced Style Icon. 
Iris Apfel loves playing with bold colours, textures and colourful prints, she does not follow trends; she creates her own. Her accessory game is like no other. I will love to take a peep into her jewellery collection, I am sure I will be mesmerised by it. Her love of high statement costume jewellery is so cool. Her sunnies are right up my street. I am in love. Here is a quote from her interview with style.com:
A woman should know herself, and know what she can afford, not only financially, but if she can carry it off. She should know whether she wants to invest her time in studying herself and experimenting—it doesn’t come from out of the blue. Personal style is attitude, attitude, attitude. It has to come from within. You have to develop things yourself. It takes a long time and it isn’t easy. Lately I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a difficult thing for a lot of women, and it makes them uptight and nervous. You don’t have to be a fashion plate; if it’s a choice of being uptight and nervous, I’d rather be badly dressed. If you’re happy, that’s the most important thing. If you want to experiment, try, but no one is going to put you in jail if you buy the wrong skirt.
I agree with all she said, personal style is all about attitude. I am so inspired by her and I am going to keep my fashion eye on her. I hope I look this look when I am half her age. What do you think of Iris Apfel? Sound off in the comment section pls. Thanks for reading.
Fulwood London Fashion Label
There is a new cool fashion label around and it is called Fulwood London.
Fulwood London is all about street wear inspired by tattoo art, the people who wear them and the stories behind them.The pieces are beautifully designed with tattoo arts; there is a piece for every woman and man. The brain behind the fashion label is Sarah Burgan. A graduate from Ravensbourne University, Sarah has worked in various divisions of the industry throughout her career before finally deciding it was time to start-up on her own. Here is what she had to say about her new fashion label:
We believe tattoos are more than just great art, they tell us who a person is, where they have been and where they are going. People share their entire lives with us through the art on their skin, even if each tattoo doesn’t have a particular meaning there is a feeling or a moment behind it and we want to celebrate that through our clothing.There is so much incredible tattoo talent here in Britain and we love to support our artists any way we can. Each season we showcase a different artist through print design and our social media channels to promote their work. This season we are featuring the amazing work of Hannah Von Farren of Loaded Forty Four and Bravest Kid Tattoo in Manchester; Hannah has created a set of really bold prints that also have this really sweet, naïve feel to them that we love. It perfectly represents where we are as an emerging brand and stands out from the other tattoo prints out there.
The amazing collection currently comprises of T-shirts, Sweatshirts and Denim shirts; soon to be joined by new colour ways, checked shirts, and beanies for the winter. Here are some pieces from the collection:
Deer Print Denim Shirt £60
Skull T-Shirt £30
Grey Fox Sweatshirt £50
I love them all but if I had to pick one, I will pick the denim shirt. It is so pretty. What do you think of these pieces?
