In the film, when she's piling on some bead necklaces, she mentions that they are all of the amber she has.</p> <p>Rachy, the film goes over how much she works. She said it keeps her from feeling her aches and pains.</p> <p>Lisa, thanks for mentioning that. I hadn't heard it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834766 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 18:22:42 +0000 Anonymous 1834766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thoughts about her changed a few years ago when she was involved in a "controversy" over outright copying of jewellery designs and putting them out under her own name/label. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834763 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 18:16:11 +0000 rachylou 1834763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've caught a little bit of this I think, on tv. It was interesting to me to see her unbox and talk about all her clothing items. I'll have to go back and watch the rest. I know nothing about her, except she really wanted to work work work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834760 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 17:59:39 +0000 Jeanie 1834760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Iris. &nbsp;It amazes me how she can pull off maximalism. &nbsp;I think most people just can't get away with it without looking trashy or OTT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834725 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 14:52:26 +0000 JAileen 1834725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, good point. What crossed my mind was I wonder if she's worn any of these things more than once? I wouldn't have any opportunity to wear any of these things, because of my life. No galas, only get togethers with friends in the backyard with our dogs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834721 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 14:43:49 +0000 Emily K 1834721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I've seen this movie. &nbsp;I, too, found her to be more interesting, well-rounded, and down-to-earth than I'd imagined her to be. &nbsp;It might be a little unfair, but the thing that struck me the most was "rich people connections = opportunity". &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pov-iris#post-1834718 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 14:25:28 +0000 JAileen 1834718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just watched this documentary on PBS about Iris Apfel. She's the 95 YO maximalist dresser who wears the giant round glasses. I thought it was very interesting. Her background was in interior design. She and her husband ran a textile business. She's not the kook I thought she was. She is a hoarder of designer clothes, though.</p> <p>You can watch it online:</p> <p><a href="http://www.pbs.org/pov/iris/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/pov/iris/</a> </p>
