Nearly six months after Apfel's death, the colorful, fashion-heavy book that she was working on is being released.
Appropriately named “Colorful,” and chockablock with photographs of the style setter with her cropped white hair, bright red lipstick, signature oversize eyeglasses and bold-colored extravagant outfits, the new page-turner turns up the wattage of her fashion sense. Apfel was working on the book prior to her death in March at the age of 102.
Along with snapshots of a youthful Apfel lounging in a tank suit on a diving board, the new Abrams-published book has pictorial remnants of her wedding proposal, vacation photos from Crete and far-flung locales, as well as references to her many collaborations including one with H&M. Color, as expected, is highlighted in detail in terms of Apfel’s love for it.
In addition to throwback Kodak-style images, there are later-in-life photos of her reclined in a full-length fur coat on a velvet chaise in her highly decorated New York City apartment. Adept at doling out snippets of fashion advice and zingers alike, Apfel’s sayings are interspersed throughout the pages such as “color can raise the dead.” And “no matter what age, no matter what gender, love is priceless.”The trendsetter’s zest for living is evident beyond her often over-the-top outfits.
