"ʻOi aku ka nui a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hānau ʻana".
I loko o kēia ʻatikala hou ua hāpai wau i kahi wahine nui ʻē aʻe i manaʻo ʻia he kiʻi kiʻi a aloha ʻia ma ke ʻano he mōʻī wahine o ke kaila.
I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole ia he stylist akā he mea hoʻolālā i loko, ʻo wai ʻo ia? Akā hele nō me ka ʻōlelo ʻole ʻO Iris Apfel, ka wahine me nā aniani poepoe nunui.
I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole wau i ʻike iā ia a i kāna moʻolelo akā mahalo i ka pepa liʻiliʻi a Frida, e kamaʻilio mau nei e pili ana i nā wahine nui, ua aʻo wau e pili ana i kēia ʻano maikaʻi.
Hānau ʻia ma ke kaiāulu ʻo New York o Astoria i kahi ʻohana Iudaio, ʻo Samuel Barrel, ka makuakāne a me Sayde, ka makuahine o Rūsia, nona ka butique; ua hele ʻo ia i ke kula nui ma NūIoka a ma hope ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana a ua laki ʻo ia e laulima pū me ka makasina ʻo Women Wear Daily, i manaʻo ʻia he baibala o ke ʻano; hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea laulima o ka mea kākau kiʻi ʻo Goodman.
I kona wā ʻōpio ua haʻi aku kekahi iā ia ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ʻo ia akā he mea hou kāna, ke kaila.
I ka makahiki 1948 ua male ʻo ia iā Carl Apfel me ka mea i hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ka launa pū me ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kā lākou ʻoihana lole: "Kahikina Kahiko 
Nā mea ulana lole"Ka mea e holo mai 1950 a 1992.
Kaulana pū kekahi no ka mea hoʻolālā kūloko o ka White House, e hana ana no nā pelekikena he nui e like me, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan a me Clinton.
Ikona ʻano hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻole, makemake ʻo ia i nā waihoʻoluʻu nani a me nā mea kōkua keu. I ka makahiki 2005 hoʻonohonoho ʻo The Costume Institute i kahi hōʻike e hoʻohanohano ai i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona kuleana ʻAvis Aʻole: ʻO Irriverent Iris Apfel, i hōʻike mua ʻia ma ka Metropolitan Museum of Art ma New York a laila lilo i huakaʻi hele.

I loko o kāna mau makahiki he kanaiwakumamāiwa ua hoʻomau ʻo ia e hele i kekahi mau hanana i hana ai ʻo ia i nā poʻe e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kona ʻano a me kona ʻano kino.
I ka 2014 lilo ʻo ia i kaulana honua no ka ʻoihana kalaiwa kaʻa DS 3, a ʻo ia ka mea i alakaʻi ʻia.
ʻO ke aliʻi wahine o ka ʻaoʻao hikina kiʻekiʻe e ʻike ʻia e ka naʻau stylistic i hui ʻia me kahi mea hoʻohenehene.
"Ke hōʻaʻahu ʻole ʻoe e like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo e like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe", Mai kēia ʻōlelo puʻupuʻu ua maopopo leʻa i kāna ʻōlelo ʻōlelo ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻaʻahu e leʻaleʻa ai i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe akā ʻoiai inā ʻo ia e ʻōlelo hou ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kau i kahi mea makemake ʻole kāna kāne, ka mea i ʻike iā ia iho i ke ʻano.
Ma ka makahiki 19 ua maopopo iā ia ʻaʻole ona makemake e ukali i ka nohona a me ka ʻike a ka ʻanakē e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻokau iā ia, no laila hoʻoholo e hana i kāna mea ponoʻī, " inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike iā ʻoe iho hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi kaila maikaʻi loa. ʻAʻole ʻoe e ola maoli. Noʻu, ʻo ka hana hewa hewa ma ke ʻano ke nānā aku i ke aniani a ʻike ʻole iā ʻoe iho."
ʻO ka mea aloha i nā mea nani, i kona wā e ola ana ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ka hana ʻana i kekahi mau mea nani a me nā ʻeke i hoʻoulu ʻia e kāna ʻono pilikino a me kona kaila. Ke nīnau ʻia "makemake ʻoe i nā mea kōkua a i ʻole nā lole" pane ʻo ia i nā mea kōkua, me ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana ʻo ia ke kaikamahine a ka Great Depression, kahi i nui ʻole a pono ʻoe e akahele, a ʻōlelo pū nō hoʻi ua haʻi kona makuahine iā ia me ka ʻeleʻele like. ʻaʻahu a me nā mea kōkua like ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā mises he nui. ʻO nā aniani nunui āna i ʻaʻa ai i kēia manawa kona pūlima, ua pīhoihoi lākou iā ia mai kona wā ʻōpiopio i ka wā i kūʻai ai ʻo ia iā lākou i nā mākeke kūleʻa me ka maopopo ʻole o kāna mea e hana ai me lākou.
Manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia i ka lawa o nā hiʻohiʻona e pili ana i nā kūlana a me nā makahiki akā hilinaʻi mau i ka manaʻo iā ia iho i ka wā e ʻaʻahu ai; " inā ua hui maikaʻiʻia a komo i kahi mau kāmaʻa maikaʻi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke hele i kēlā me kēia kūlana".
ʻO ka mea nāna i hoʻopūʻiwa iaʻu e pili ana iā ia ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia i ka pono e aʻo pehea e kāwili ai i ka chic a me ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe me nā lole haʻahaʻa a i ʻole nā mea liʻiliʻi a i loko o kekahi o nā nīnauele he nui āna i ʻōlelo ai. ʻo ka poʻe nani loa aʻu i ʻike ai i koʻu ola ʻaʻohe kālā", Manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia a ʻo wau i kēia e like me nā mea āpau
ʻAe piha wau i ke kāhiko pono ʻana he mea ia o ke kaila a ʻaʻole kālā, a manaʻoʻiʻo nō hoʻi he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hauʻoli ma mua o ke kāhiko ʻana.
ʻO kāna mau wahi noho he aloha a me nā hanana lālani mua o kekahi mau mea hoʻolālā, kahi wehe hale hōʻikeʻike kūikawā, nā palapala hōʻike mua e pili ana i nā kaʻao moʻomeheu a me ka ti kīhāpai kiʻekiʻe ma Manhattan.
Ua koho wau e haʻi iā ʻoe e pili ana i kēia kiʻi no ka mea i kekahi manawa i ke ola lawe mākou i ka leʻaleʻa o ke koho ʻana a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi mea pilikino loa inā paha eccentric, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i ke ala waihoʻoluʻu a ma mua o nā mea āpau e mahalo iā mākou iho he maikaʻi no ka ʻuhane.
"ma Dowtown, Manhattan, NY manaʻo ka poʻe he mea ʻano akā ua ʻaʻahu lākou āpau i ka ʻeleʻele, ʻaʻohe kaila, ke kau nei i ka lole."
No laila, ʻaʻole wau e manaʻo hilahila ʻoe i ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i ke ala waihoʻoluʻu a i ʻole quirky, i kekahi manawa ʻoluʻolu a hoʻohilahila ʻole i nā hopena i kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe. Lawe i kahi manawa e hoʻokuʻu ai iā ʻoe iho a hōʻike i kou manaʻo.
" Kū di i leʻaleʻa kāu Me la keʻano keʻano quasi make. Uiʻi e kau hoʻomālie la kāu moemoeā".
