EXTINCTIONS
Style icon, industry savant, and most recently designer extraordinaire, Iris Apfel has been adorning us with her quirky style and business savvy ways for, well, nearly a century. Her latest endeavor, designing her own handbag line, not only reflects her unique personal wardrobe but her keen sense of humor. The self-proclaimed “geriatric starlet” delights in celebrating her years as reflected in the collection’s name, Extinctions. Emerging from a humorous exchange between Apfel and her business partner Lisa Nunziata, who says, “When I met Iris, I told her I’m the last of a dying breed, and she shot back, ‘If you’re the end of a dying breed, then I must be extinct.’” And so, Extinctions was born, complete with evocative, fossil-like branding in the image of a dodo bird.
