Iris Apfel - the fashion legend who last year turned 100 - is finally giving the people what they want: a slice of her uniquely maximalist style courtesy of a high street collab with H&M. As you might expect from the woman who has made printed co-ords, plenty of necklaces and thick-framed glasses the ultimate combination when it comes to peacock dressing, the collection is filled with eye-popping prints, jewel-tone colours and good-time accessories - all of which will almost guarantee a, 'Where did you get that from?' the first time you wear any of it.
Early contenders for favourite pieces include the tiered and pleated skirt printed with flower power florals (£119.99), as well as the matching pussy-bow blouse with giant bell sleeves (£39.99). It might not be your typical wedding guest outfit, but it would certainly make head turns for all the right reason. While there isn't a pair of spectacles, there is a pyjama-style co-ord that is printed with those famous black frames (the shirt and bottoms are both £69.99). There's also an emerald and lilac coat printed with giant feathers that would make an elegant - and exuberant - finishing touch to the simple pairing of a white button-down and black cigarette pants.
How Much Is The Iris Apfel x H&M Collab?
The prices start from a very reasonable £19.99 - for the swimwear, the knitted vest and the knitted shorts - and stretch to £229.99 for a ruffled jacket in a flattering shade of violet. Shirts, trousers and dresses, all printed and glorious, are around the £69.99-£79.99 mark.
When Does The Iris Apfel x H&M Collab Launch?
The Iris Apfel x H&M collab will be available, in selected stores and online, from March 31.
