Harper's Bazaar April 2015

There is nothing more fabulous than an original woman. In this issue, Iris Apfel, the self-described “geriatric starlet” in the new Albert Maysles documentary, Iris, answers your questions, from how to dress your age to the secret to longevity in fashion and in love (page 108). Actress and comedian Amy Sedaris embraces her younger self when it comes to style, saying, “I’m 54 years old and I still dress like I did when I was 12” (page 158). And the equally funny Chelsea Handler, who stars in a Netfix docu-comedy series later this year, waxes poetic about why life gets better with age. As she says, “I just post my topless photos and move on” (page 156). Enjoy the issue. Dior ring, $930. 800-929-DIOR.…

IT’S NO SECRET that dressing your age can be tricky. Most of us have succumbed to—or at least witnessed—a few missteps along the way: too tight, too young, too fashion. But despite all of the noes out there, I like to look at the yeses. That’s precisely why our Fabulous at Every Age issue exists. This time we’ve highlighted key pieces that work no matter how many birthdays you’ve had. One of this season’s best is the classic trench. Trenches always make me think of the coat that Catherine Deneuve donned for her louche turn in Belle de Jour back in 1967, though she wears the style as well as ever today. My favorite version for spring is the suede one that Christopher Bailey did at Burberry Prorsum (after all,…

You have the most amazing wardrobe. What is your favorite piece? I’m a flea-market freak, and years ago I was very interested in antique fabrics. I went to a place that had some church vestments, and this one was a knockout. It was a tunic of the most beautiful ruby-red Lyonnaise silk velvet. It had a panel in front, a handwoven broché. I put it on and said to my husband, Carl: “Oh, this is wonderful. I’ll make a pair of trousers and a pair of shoes, and I’ll have the most splendid cocktail outfit.” He went crazy. “What are you, nuts? People will think I can’t afford to buy you a proper dress.” The only time in 67 years when we’ve had major differences is in the flea market.…
