Fashion Icon Iris Apfel Dead At 102

Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, because the universe just lost a dash of fabulousness. The one and only Iris Apfel has left the building… at the ripe old age of 102! That’s like, a century plus two years of sheer awesomeness packed into one human being.

In a solemn announcement that echoed across the fashion cosmos, Iris’ official Instagram page dropped the bombshell on Friday (March 1). Picture this: a photo of the late designer with a caption that reads like a timeline of greatness – “Iris Barrel Apfel August 29, 1921 – March 1, 2024.” Cue the collective gasps of disbelief.

And where did this icon take her final bow? None other than her Palm Beach, Fla. abode. Because, of course, even in her final act, she chose to be fabulous. Born in the concrete jungle of Queens, N.Y., Iris was a walking, talking explosion of color and patterns. Seriously, her style was so bold, even Picasso would’ve given her a high-five.

Let’s talk highlights, shall we? In 2022, Iris made jaws drop and wallets open with her collab collection with H&M. Because why settle for just ruling the runway when you can take over closets worldwide, right?

Now, here’s the real cliffhanger: No cause of death has been revealed yet. Maybe she went out in a blaze of glitter and glamour, or perhaps she simply decided it was time to take her iconic glasses and quirky charm to the next realm. Either way, we’re left hanging, pondering life’s greatest mystery.

To all those who were fortunate enough to have their lives touched by the magic of Iris Apfel, our hearts go out to you. Let’s raise a glass (preferably bedazzled) to a life lived in full technicolor, and may her spirit continue to inspire generations to come. Shine on, you magnificent fashionista. Shine on. 🌟
