"Iris Apfel" Book by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

The Quatro Group Iris Apfel book by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. Growing up in Queens, New York, little Iris was the only child at family events. Her grandmother would open a giant bag of fabric, filled with every color and pattern, and let her play with fabric scraps. This inspired a lifelong love of fashion. Famous for her eclectic style, built around oversized glasses, bright colors, and bold jewelry, Iris was the subject of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art when she was just 84 years old. Features stylish and quirky illustrations with extra facts at the back, including a biographic timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the style icon's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. 32 pages. Paper. Imported.
