Dive into Iris Apfel's Bold Style Legacy at Christie's Auction of the Year!

Imagine diving headfirst into fashion history with Iris Apfel's eclectic treasures right from your comfy couch! Get ready for Christie's thrilling auction: "Unapologetically Iris: The Personal Collection of Iris Apfel." Starting January 28 and closing on February 13, this online auction promises a roller coaster of style delights from the one and only "geriatric starlet"!

We're talking over 200 pieces that scream bold and brilliant – think oversized glasses, feather boas, and chunky bangles. Highlights include a Dior haute couture feather coat (estimated at $800-$1,200), a vibrant Carolina Herrera gown ($800-$1,200), and 18 multicolored Iris Apfel X Zenni eyeglass frames ($400-$600). And don't miss the carved "Gussy" ostrich-form bar from Italy, circa 1975, eyeing $6,000 to $8,000.

Iris and her husband Carl were the brains behind Old World Weavers, shaking up the textile world in their time. Sadly, Carl left us in 2015 at 100, followed by Iris in March 2024 at 102.
