What is the cache of such dull designs as a Burberry plaid or a Vuitton bag? Conforming designs for the rich or those who want to appear rich. Shades of brown and beige predominate along with a safe stupefying repetition.
You'd never catch Iris Apfel with a Vuitton bag. She's no conformist--let's bring back that word!--whether she's toning down colors or amping them up.
From the website "Art Knowledge News":
Elements of Style According to Iris Apfel:
- Never take yourself or an outfit too seriously.
- Visit the animal kingdom.
- Consider the clergy.
- Travel widely.
- Go high and low.
- Don’t fret about your age.
- Don’t be afraid to stop traffic.
Consider the clergy? Does she mean we should dress like the pope?
