Colorful: A Treasure Trove of Inspiration, Influences, and Ideas

Author: Iris Apfel
Series: 11 fashion memoirs and nonfiction
ASIN: B0CTHSPRWN

Leigh says: This coffee table book is a visual feast. Iris Apfel was a creative force, a true sartorial inspiration. Her story about Duke Ellington is not to be missed! Pair with the documentary Iris and thank me later.
