Rare Birds of Fashion
I am not much of an aggregator but this short film from Nowness about senior citizens with extraordinary personal style is inspiring and simply too good to miss.  It features one of my style heroes, the impossibly chic Iris Apfel. Her outsized glasses and effortless mix of ethnic jewelry with couture reflects a one-of-a-kind eye for color, texture and pattern.

Apfel's unique style inspired a 2005 exhibit of her wardrobe -Rare Bird of Fashion- at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum. If you missed the show don't miss the inspiration to be found in the book from the show.
