Iris Apfel is a 93 year old fashion connoisseur whose developments in interior design and personal style have moulded generations. Known for her outsize round spectacles, blue rinse hair, flamboyant clothes and elaborate accessorising, she has been an ever present and ever respected figure in her home state of New York and continues to pave the way for future fashion generations to come. But this isn't just a woman with an extraordinary sense of style; Iris' natural charisma, down-to-earth sensibilities and infectious humour have captivated all who meet her and now a movie has arrived to explore her colourful life as she further advances in her years and continues to have landmark influences on the fashion industry. Most importantly it moves to teach you that, to find peace and happiness, you must never be afraid to be yourself.
'Iris' is a forthcoming award-winning documentary from the late Oscar nominated director Albert Maysles ('Grey Gardens', 'Gimme Shelter'), who passed away earlier this year at the age of 88. Starring Iris Apfel and her long time husband Carl Apfel, the movie won the Audience Award at the 2014 Hamptons International Film Festival and is set to be released in movie theaters on July 31st 2015.
