Rare Bird of Fashion by Eric Boman

A true original: this lavishly photographed book captures the style of American fashion maverick Iris Apfel, who, over the past forty years, has cultivated a personal chic that is exuberantly idiosyncratic. Combining genres, colours, textures and patterns without regard to period, provenance or, ultimately, aesthetic convention, she is one of the few style icons of our time. Here, in over ninety sumptuous colour plates, Eric Boman shows off a selection of her extraordinary outfits on wittily posed mannequins.
'A stunning visual record of how Apfel can combine fabrics, colours and accessories with breathtaking élanA must for any clothes lover' - The Irish Times
'The “anything goes” bravura of style at its most imaginative' - Harold Koda
