A BLACK BLAZER WITH MULTICOLOR APPLIQUÉ AND EMBROIDERY
Iris Apfel purchased this Moschino blazer at Palm Beach Vintage while filming for her documentary, Iris. "Isn't this fabulous? Look at this. I love this the best." says Iris (wearing the blazer), "I like the poor bastard on the back" says Carl.
Iris later wore the blazer to the launch of her handbag line "Extinctions," a collaboration with Lisa Nunziata. The similar example was worn by actress Fran Drescher in popular sitcom The Nanny.
