Iris Apfel was finally recognised as a great, original fashion stylist in her 80s, when the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in New York had a sudden gap in its 2005 exhibition schedule. Many curators knew Apfel, who has died aged 102, as a collector stashing away clothes, especially costume jewellery, both couture-high and street-market-low, so the institute asked to borrow some of her thousands of pieces.

When Apfel wore them herself, dozens at a time in ensembles collaged fresh daily, they had zingy pzazz, so she was invited to set up the displays. There was no publicity budget, and her name was modestly known only in the interior decor trade, yet the show, Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Apfel Collection, became a huge success after visitors promoted it online. It toured other American museums, changing exhibits en route because Apfel wanted her stuff back so she could wear it.

Apfel’s grandfather had been a master tailor in Russia; her father, Samuel Barrel, supplied mirrors to smart decorators; her chic mother, Sadye (nee Asofsky), had a fashion shop. They lived out in rural Astoria, in the Queens borough of New York, where Iris was born.

As a child, her treat was a weekly subway trip to Manhattan to explore its shops, her favourites the junk emporia of Greenwich Village. She was short, plain and, until her teen years, plump, but she had style; and the owner of a Brooklyn department store picked her out of a crowd to tell her so. During the Depression all her family could sew, drape, glue, paint and otherwise create the look of a room, or a person, on a budget of cents – the best of educations.

She studied art history at New York University, then qualified to teach and did so briefly in Wisconsin before fleeing back to New York to work on Women’s Wear Daily. Furniture and fabrics were in short supply during and after the second world war, and Iris began to earn by sourcing antiques and textiles; if she could not find it, she could make or fake it cheaply.

In 1948 she married Carl Apfel, and they became a decorating team: he had the head for business and she the eye. Unable to find cloth appropriate to a period decor, Iris adapted a design from an old piece and had it woven in a friend’s family mill; she and Carl then set up Old World Weavers in 1952, commissioning traditional makers around the globe.

Photographs and home-movie footage from the next four decades showed Apfel, adorned with elan, haggling for one-off items in souks, flea markets and bric-a-brac shops. She is the most decorative sight in each shot, her ensembles put together with complex cadenzas atop an underlying, tailored, structure– they are like jazz – not a statement, but a conversation.

Apfel was the last of those 20th-century fashion exotics who presented themselves as installations. Although she wore a priest’s warm tunic to the White House (President Richard Nixon underheated the place), plus armfuls of cheap African bracelets and thigh-high boots, she was not an exhibitionist like the Marchesa Casati, and, with her vaudevillian comic timing, was far funnier than the imperious Vogue editor Diana Vreeland.

Also, she never ever bought full-price: her many rails and under-the-bed suitcases of couture were sale-price samples, chosen for their cut, fabric, skilled craftwork and colour dazzle (“Colour can raise the dead”). She might wear them over thrift shop pyjamas, or under a Peking Opera costume, with hawsers of necklaces atop. Money could not buy personal style, she said, prettiness withered, beauty could corrode the soul. All that really mattered was “attitude, attitude, attitude”.

Old World Weavers discreetly refurbished the White House under nine presidents, as well as grand hotels and private houses, before the Apfels sold the company in 1992. They retired to a quiet life in their apartment on Park Avenue, New York, its decor an extension of Apfel’s outfits (bad garment choices were cut up for cushions), and in a Palm Beach holiday home where the Christmas decoration collection stayed up all year round, along with cuddly toys and museum-class folk art. Clothes shopping, and the improvisation of an outfit, became Apfel’s daily ritual, as cooking might be to a gourmet.

But after the Met show, and a book, Rare Bird of Fashion (2007), Apfel was back in as much full-time employment as she could manage in her 80s and 90s (she had a hip replacement because she fell after stepping on an Oscar de la Renta gown). She was cover girl of Dazed and Confused, among many other publications, window display artist at Bergdorf Goodman, designer and design consultant – superb on eye-glasses; she wore large, owl-like, frames to stylise her aged face into a witty, unchanging, cartoon.

She took seriously her responsibilities to fashion students on her course at the University of Texas, teaching them about imagination, craft and tangible pleasures in a world of images.

Her career lasted – nothing was ever too late: in 2018, Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon, a book of memoir and sound style advice; in 2019, a contract with the model agency IMG; and last year, a beauty campaign for makeup with Ciaté London. The documentarian Albert Maysles trailed her for Iris (2014), filming this “geriatric starlet” – her term – as she dealt drolly with new high-fashion friends, or laughed at an “Iris” Halloween costume (glasses, a ton of bangles).

She watched as a storage loft of her antique treasures was listed in lots for sale, and as white-gloved assistants from museums that had begged a bequest boxed up her garments; she still had, and wore, the shoes from her wedding. All things, she said, were only on loan in this world, even to collectors. The point was to enjoy them to the full before bidding them good-bye.

Carl died in 2015.

My 1st Comic

I really get tired as I finished draw my own twst comic for 3/4 days. I tried to draw Evonie and Allison a long time and finally done it.

Cast: Sophia Azurinova (@roseberry-memories (it's me😉) 's characters )

Evonie Apfel, Allison Liddel ( @phoenix-manga /@phnxart 's characters )

Location: the Library of Regal Fairy Academy and garden

Number 12th of this comic:

At that time, before Sophia chased Alison with holding a whip, Allison hung a giant spider doll on the tree to play a prank and waited for Sophia to leave the library and read the e-book under the tree and let her be frightened by the fake spider.

[au-ni-ro]

The female character belongs to @phnxart or @phoenix-manga as well as the incorrect quote.

Coffee, Comics, Container and a nice thing called Stiles

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/Zm2Thdt

by pinkmurasaki

Stiles kocht vor Wut. Schnee trudelt um ihn herum, aber sein Körper ist so warm wie exakt dreiundzwanzig Pancakes plus vier Meter Alufolie. Er roch noch Tage später nach Fett.

Seine Finger umklammern den angenagten Apfel und das zerkratzte Nokia. Hatte der Typ vor ihm gerade seinen halben Kaffee weggeworfen? Kurz vor dem Mülleimer? Zeit für ein wenig Sport.

"Hey, Arschloch!"

Stiles schleudert sein Apfelgerippe in Richtung Arschlochmensch. Es prallt am dunklen Anzug auf und zerläuft. Finstock wäre auf ihn stolz gewesen. Der Typ dreht sich um.

Und heilige Makrele, es ist Derek.

Pudding an die Wand

In der wunderlichen Welt der Memes spielt seit etlicher Zeit ein beherzt oder zumindest absichtlich schlecht gezeichnetes Männchen namens Wojak, mit dem satirische Witze zum Thema trauriger Tropf illustriert werden. Da Schadenfreude als extrem befriedigend empfunden wird, erfreut sich Wojak zunehmender Beliebtheit.

Oben abgebildete Fan Art stammt von User:in @stahlnippel. Imaginiert wird das repräsentative Porträt des Herrschers über das fiktive Reich der Wojak-Meme-Kultur.

Bevor wir uns jetzt aber in den Details unserer mannigfaltig gespiegelten, gebrochenen und geklitterten Popkultur verlieren, will ich den Blick auf den am unteren Meme-Rand mittig platzierten Schweinebraten lenken: Die Karikatur hält einen Apfel in der rosa gegrillten Schnauze — ist das in Wirklichkeit nicht längst aus der Mode gekommen unter Metzgern und Köchen? Kannte man den Brauch ohnehin nicht allein aus den Comics von Asterix?

Ein Zitat also. Ein Traum im Traum. Oder anders gesagt: Ohne dieses vergleichsweise hyperrealistische Element, den Apfel — Frucht an sich, Symbol der Symbole et cetera — müsste König Wojak in reiner Zuschreibung verharren. Er ginge uns gar nichts mehr an.

Rub-man....... Ja mehr hab ich dazu auch nicht zu sagen und eigentlich hab ich auch nur ein Foto gebraucht um zu informieren dass es die Comics jetzt auch auf Tumblr sind wo man sie ganz lesen kann. Der Account heißt auch irgendwie gleich so wie der hier aber so genau hab ich grad keine Lust das zu überprüfen, ich mein ihr findet das schon. Weil manchmal steht auf den Comics ja ,,Cocroach'' und manchmal ,, Cockroach'' aber wenn ich ehrlich bin hab ich keine Ahnung wie die richtige Übersetzung ist..... Naja, wie denn auch sei ihr fragt euch sicher wieso da ein Apfel auf dem Bild ist, oder nicht? Wenn nicht seid ihr ziemlich komisch drauf, weil sowas fällt doch auf! Und hast den du Reim nicht erkannt werden keine Beweise mehr verlangt Du hast den Apfel nicht erkannt Das heißt du bist wohl krank Kapiert? Das war ein Witz weil die Leute die den Apfel nicht erkannt haben, lesen den ersten Reim, der ihnen sagt, dass sie komisch drauf sind, ohne ihn als Reim zu erkennen und dann lesen sie nochmal ein Reim, der ihnen sagt, dass sie krank (zweckreimgebunden für ,,komisch drauf'') sind und dann merken sie, dass sie gerade mehrmals auf den selben Trick reingefallen sind und dann lesen sie diesen Abschnitt und fragen sich warum ich hier alles so kompliziert erkläre, wobei ich auch einfach nur versuchen könnte einen langen Text zu schreiben, den dann keiner mehr kapier was wohl eventuell, aber natürlich nicht so sicher wie das Amen in der Kirche oder die Internet Verbindung von Putin, aber natürlich sicherer als die Existenz von langen, in sich selbst fallenden, Texten über die Erklärung von Witzen, obwohl allerdings dieser Vergleich wohl nicht passt da die Sicherheit solcher Texte ja im Moment bewiesen wurde, oder etwa nicht und stattdessen ist nichts sicher und die Unendlichkeit hat das Universum erschaffen um uns, ihre Kinder zu fressen und das bis zum Ende der Welt und weiter in alle Ewigkeit, daran liegt, dass es hier gar keine Punkte gibt und der ganze Text aus einem Satz besteht, der zu allem Überfluss wahrscheinlich noch nicht einmal richtig gelesen wird..... Schämt euch....! Wie denn auch sei auf Tumblr kann man das ganze Format lesen. #eatfruits https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2xO29hC7V/?igshid=1w5dfwgjmx0lk
