Iris Apfel, the vibrant figure in the world of fashion, textiles, and interior design, passed away at the age of 102.

The "aging star," as she described herself, achieved great popularity in her later years after the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a successful exhibition of her diverse wardrobe.

The exhibition, held in 2005, put Apfel on the map and her fame was further enhanced in 2014 as a result of a documentary titled "Iris" directed by Albert Maysles, which covered the life and creativity of the fashion star, according to the British news agency (PA Media).

Apfel was 97 years old when she signed a contract with the global agency "IMG Models," which also represents models such as Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss.
