Iris Apfel, a vivacious personality in the world of fashion, textiles and interior design, has died at the age of 102.

The self-proclaimed “geriatric starlet”, who was known for her more-is-more approach to style, became a viral sensation in her later years after the Metropolitan Museum of Art formed a hit exhibition from her eclectic wardrobe.
