Fashionista.com has some fantastically true and humorous quotes from New York style icon Iris Apfel's interview with The Telegraph where she discusses what she calls a "epidemic" on the streets of NYC and why she won't style Lindsay Lohan.
“Now when I walk down Fifth Avenue in the summertime I just want to throw up. It seems that the fatter and uglier people are, the fewer clothes they wear. The shorts and flip-flops and tight jeans on butts that go from here to Poughkeepsie.” She shudders. “I always say they should put people in jail for wearing clothes like that. Especially stretch jeans over size 10–they should be outlawed. Ten years ago people were starting to look like slobs in New York, now it’s an epidemic.”
On personal style (prompted by Lindsay Lohan asking Apfel to be her stlyist):
“I can’t tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It’s just instinctive. You can’t try to be somebody you’re not; that’s not style. If someone says, ‘Buy this, you’ll be stylish,’ you won’t be stylish because you won’t be you. You have to learn who you are first and that’s painful… I don’t try to intellectualize about it because it tightens you up. I think you have to be loose as a goose.”
We second that! Scoot on over to fashion.telegraph.co.uk for the entire honest and straight forward interview that's a must read.
