Iris Apfel and Dara Caponigro were together at Sotheby’s this week for an evening of Style and Design. The VERANDA Magazine Editor-in-Chief delved into what is style and how do you carry it off and make it work for you. No one was better suited to answer those questions than the veteran fashion icon Iris Apfel. Her work had and continues to have a major impact in fashion and interior design. Although we only had one hour with the grande dame herself, I felt as if we’ve spent the entire evening with her. There was so much to be said and much more to talk about, and I’m so pleased to have been part of the experience. One of the things that stood out was Iris explaining that it’s alright to grow old gracefully, be different, and create your individual flair without caring too much about what others think. Because at the end of the day, life must go on – with style.
