Apfel, who studied art history and attended art school, traveled the world with her husband.
These travels highly influenced her personal style, with her incorporating non-Western and artisanal designs into her closet.
Age never slowed Apfel down.
At 100, what else is there to do except sit around?
I don’t play bridge.
I don’t play golf.
I love to work, and I really enjoy what I do.
Carl passed in 2015 at age 100.
