I do have a dominant shopping gene but, unlike a reasonable person, I never plan for what I need each season. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the discovery and the endless search. In another creation I was, perhaps, a hunter/gatherer. After all these years, Iโve learned that itโs not the end result or finished product but the process I most enjoy. If my experimenting, searching and juxtaposing turns into an exciting outfit well, itโs just a big fat bonus!

Iris ApfelIโm a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because itโs valuable. My husband used to say I look at a piece of fabric and listen to the threads. It tells me a story. It sings me a song. I have to get a physical reaction when I buy something. A coup de foudre โ a bolt of lightning. Itโs fun to get knocked out that way!
