Since time immemorial, we have seen when women ages, they are bound to lose the best of their interests and tend to fit in the cocoons that the world has staged for them. Breaking these norms is Iris Apfel, the fashion and style icon who turned 100. Inspiring all generations continues to boldly break all the rules and march forward to becoming an exceptional centenarian. Fashion has given voice to many people, and Iris with her extravagant styling, eye-catching makeup and oversized round glasses showed the world that style can move along with you, no matter what the age. With over a 1.8million followers on Instagram, Iris is still on her way to finding new ways to express herself.

Apfel's trademark outfit, round glasses with costume jewellery and printed garments, made her a recognizable figure in fashion spheres. Her look became a favourite for Halloween costumes and dress-up parties.
An outfit isn't complete without a signature accessory and Iris Apfel's kitschy style statements even at 100 years of age have always been a spotlight. While designers and brands must be obsessed with making clothes for millennials and Gen-Z, Iris rocks all generation styles and is the epitome of someone pulling off the most unusual looks in great finesse and ease.
Should one hold back from their passion because of age?
