Anita Diamant never met fashion icon Iris Apfel in person, but she did spend an afternoon among the many delights of Apfel's storied closet at a Peabody Essex Museum exhibit in 2009. The experience sent her running from black clothing, towards colors and (gasp) bold patterns.
Iris Apfel sits for a portrait during her 100th Birthday Party at Central Park Tower on September 09, 2021 in New York City. I never met the woman in the flesh, but I did spend a couple of hours in 2009 with a selection from the contents of her amazing closet.
Every mannequin was loaded with layers upon layers of garments and embellishments and gewgaws that challenged propriety, common sense, and in some cases, gravity. Elaborate fabrics in shocking combinations were accessorized with feathers, bells, mirrors and so much jewelry: bangles stacked from wrist to elbow, strands of enormous beads that formed a kind of breastplate. Pins the size of small birds. A flock of small birds.
There were no little black dresses to be found in the “Rare Bird” exhibit. If there was a black skirt or blouse, it was merely the backdrop for a dramatic vest, a feathered shawl, and a cascade of necklaces.
