12 ISSUE 89 / 2016 FASHION Iris Apfel is a successful american business woman, interior designer and FASHION ICON all at the tender age of 94. A movie-documentary about her life has just been released; meaning that she is storming social media networks right now. The worlds of TV, magazines, newspapers are at her feet and guess what? She doesn't care at all! Apfel is our current fashion inspiration because she is courageous and bold, whether it is the world of clothes or her opinions. She has become an icon for many women of all ages with her legendary style and outspoken views. She has travelled all around the globe and this encouraged her to build up her huge collection of worldwide textiles and accessories. This can be seen at Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Apfel Collection, an exhibition that was unlike any other at The Met, New York City. She has worked with the wives of no less than 9 United States Presidents. In terms of her own style, the main accessory is a pair of her signature gigantic colourful owlish glasses and she's always sure to be seen in an amazing assortment of garments - never without bright lipstick. Iris Apfel consults and lectures about style and other fashion topics in colleges around the States. Yet fashion and attractiveness aren't always the same thing. As Apfel says: "I wasn't pretty when I got married either, and I never cared. I never liked pretty. I mean, it's nice, don't misunderstand me, but I never got upset. And I was quite glad in a way, because it put my mind to other things." She loves to improvise and she teaches that "fashion takes effort". This is Apfel's life in a nutshell. Dutch streetwear label Patta has joined forces with Oneman for a special collaborative project for his Thirteen Weeks residency at XOYO. PATTA X ONEMAN X XOYO Oneman has garnered an indisputable reputation for his ability to blend genres and make you want to dance. His eight-year stretch on London institution Rinse RM recently culminated in the broadcast of his 400th show - reflecting his history with the station, Oneman has lined up some very special dates within his thirteen weeks with a retrospective look into four seminal genres; dubstep, grime, UK funky and garage. Both deeply rooted in the music scene Patta co-founder Guillaume "Gee" Schmidt saw this venture with Oneman as the perfect partnership, "We at Patta like to do things at the highest level...music is one of our great passions. With this in the back of our minds, working together with Oneman to create something for 13 weeks was a no brainer." The striking t-shirt features the definitive 'Patta' graphic on the front in rich red, and on the back chronicles the seminal names of this residency. While the tee won't be available to purchase, there will be various giveaways across the course of the forthcoming thirteen weeks to make it an even great prize. 'Thirteen Weeks, Oneman' runs every Friday at XOYO until 23rd September. STYLE ICON: IRIS APFEL
