00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. We lost a great fashionista over

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: the weekend, Iris Appfell. You would know her image if

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: you don't know her name. She was one hundred and

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: two when she died, and she has big dark glasses,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: gray short hair, and her arms are usually covered in

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: the most fabulous bangles. She wears lots of colorful jewelry

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: around her neck. She is an icon and she's had

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: quite an extraordinary life. I love these quotes from her.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: She says, if you're not interested, you're not interesting. You know.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: I love my chunky jewelry Brenn and my colorful stuff.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: I just think she's amazing. She says, put your money

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: into accessories. You can create a million different looks. When

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: you don't dress like everybody else, you don't think like

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: everybody else. Color can raise the dead. She has set.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: She's had an extraordinary life. So she started her working

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: life as a copy editor at Women's Wear Daily, where

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: she earned fifteen dollars a week in the nineteen fiveties.

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: She then became an interior designer, had her own fashion business.

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: She was renovated the White House during nine presidencies. Renovated, Yeah, renovated.

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: That's a big joint. It's a big joint. But what

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: they do is every time there's a new president, they

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: want to put their own stamp on it. So come

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: on in and do it. She became an icon an

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: unlikely stylocon in two thousand and five when the Museum

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: of a Metropolitan Museum of Art launched an exhibition focusing

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: on her wardrobe. So she became a worldwide name in

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: her nineties. Quite extraordinary. So in twenty nineteen she signed

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: a modeling contract with an agency that was representing cap

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Moss Xijihadid, So she became this incredible instead of having

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: a third act, this is about her fifth act, famous

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: fashion model in her nineties. She's the oldest person to

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: have a Barbie doll made by Mattel in her image.

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: She's quite extraordinary. Anyway. She has just passed away at

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: the age of one hundred and two. Wow, good innings,

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: good innings. I did have to laugh at this though

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: they when they announced her death, The New York Post

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: said that spokesman for her estate confirmed her death to

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: multiple US outlets, did not give a cause of death.

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: She's one hundred and two. I think we know it's okay.

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: Nothing to see here, it's all right.
