It could be her shoes:
Or it could be her philosophy:
"...I look at a piece of fabric and listen to the threads.
It tells me a story. It sings me a song."
How can you resist such panache? She's turned a lifelong love of fashion into an artform, a business (Old World Weavers - makers of antique textile reproductions) and way of life. A true pioneer who's influenced a generation, Iris wore a pair of boy's jeans in the 40s before jeans were even made for women! But wait till you see the rest of her wardrobe... Go Iris - here's to an authentic, passionate life!
