Fashion Week
It’s Fashion Week in New York and it’s school vacation week here in Boston. But for the ladies it’s been work, work, work. So while we pay the bills, here is a little fashion fun for the rest of you.
The Peabody Essex Museum recently hosted an exhibit titled “Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel” featuring more than 80 ensembles from the personal collections of style icon Iris Apfel. Apfel is an interior designer who once worked at Women’s Wear Daily. She is best known for her eclectic style and uncanny ability to mix “junque” store finds with haute couture.
Although the exhibit has moved on, the museum still features a fun, interactive web page where you can style an Iris paper doll. Check it out here. Forget the over-hyped, over-marketed looks under the tents this week. Get creative and experiment with your style on these paper dolls. But be careful, we are now obsessed with finding the perfect turquoise statement necklace (or six).
Enjoy!
