Style Icon Iris Apfel Just Launched an Autobiographical Coloring Book
It's high-time to cancel those weekend plans (if you were fortunate enough to have any at all right now) because Iris Apfel has just launched an ultra-fabulous coloring book that doubles as her autobiography. IRIS The Coloring Book is a 16-page, oversized volume that is sure to excite artists of all ages as they learn more about her unique journey from textile exec to fashion icon for the ages. Its gold foil-embossed cover and whimsical jacket cover make it a fun piece to display as well.
The 98-year-old businesswoman, designer, professor, and fashion icon is releasing IRIS The Coloring Book in support of aspiring fashion students at The University of Texas-Austin. Apfel is a visiting professor and guiding force behind UT in NYC, an incredible summer experience for students of UT's Textiles and Apparel Program to learn first-hand from some of the industry's best designers, merchants, and retailers. Each summer, she selects a handful of her most promising students to participate, and 100% of the proceeds will go toward helping these students add this once-in-a-lifetime experience to their resumes.
IRIS The Coloring Book is available now on UniversityCoop.com for $45 and offers insight into the style icon's life, inspiration, and favorite things. The book will also feature some of her most iconic quotes. You can share your work with her on Instagram (yes, she is extremely tech-savvy and boasts 1.6 million followers!) by tagging #IrisInColor and follow along with the colorful fun on @Iristhecoloringbook.
