For nonagenarian interior designer and fashion icon Iris Apfel, assembling an outfit is like playing jazz, an improvisational feat of sartorial mix and match. Oversize glasses, layers of chunky costume jewelry, and brightly colored prints combine to create Apfel’s signature look, a blend of couture and kitschy flea market finds haggled down in price with stubborn tenacity. In Iris, the late, legendary pioneer of cinema vérité, Albert Maysles, follows Apfel as she makes TV appearances, goes on shopping trips, and spends time at home—amidst her vast clothing, accessory, and stuffed animal collections—with her husband of 66 years, Carl. Quick-witted and passionate, Apfel offers up heartfelt advice and clever maxims about hard work, style, and the importance of individuality, while friends and fans in the art and fashion worlds weigh in on her influence. Punctuating the film is lovely banter between Apfel and Maysles, the man behind the camera, who understood the joys of creativity late into life.  EM
