Iris Apfel On How Being Happy Is More Important Than Being Fashionable
Female Singapore
|April 2022
The American textile specialist-turned-model is a true fashion icon so original is her singular, baroque-inspired style that it has even earned her an exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Now in conjunction with her centennial birthday, H&M has collaborated with her on a 38-piece-strong, limited-edition line of ready-to-wear and accessories emulating her vivacious taste. Ahead of its recent launch in stores and online, this original peacock offered a few wise (and exclusive) words on the state of dressing today.

HAVING MOVED IN THE FASHION AND CREATIVE CIRCLES FOR SO LONG, WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON PERSONAL STYLE TODAY?
“Part of the problem with the way people dress nowadays is that it’s too generic. Everyone looks the same: They wear what’s in fashion, what’s trendy… That’s terribly dull. I want to see personality. Dress exactly the way you want to and you’ll always look wonderful because you’ll feel wonderful and like yourself… I think it’s much better to be happy than well dressed.”
THIS H&M COLLABORATION MIRRORS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE CLOSELY. WHAT STYLE NOTES SHOULD PEOPLE DRAW FROM YOU?

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT
Besides bringing in some of the best movies from around the globe (nearly every one is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), homegrown independent film distributor Anticipate Pictures is known for its hyper-stylish, often-cheeky scroll-stopping artworks promoting said flicks — after all, the company was founded in 2016, when Instagram was starting to seriously blow up.

CINEMA PARADISO
The house of Chanel has been a committed champion of the film world since founder Gabrielle Chanel started dressing the actresses from the United Artists studio at the request of American producer Samuel Goldwyn in the 1930s. Besides styling stars on screen and off, the brand has been an active supporter of international movie festivals, institutions and directors (local auteur Eric Khoo was one of them); has helped to restore classics such as the enigmatic Last Year at Marienbad (1961); and often draws inspiration from cinema. For Cruise 2025/26, it pays homage to the glamour of the silver screen as well as Coco Chanel's decades-spanning friendship with legendary Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti. Here's an exclusive closeup look at the collection and the many ways it's coded la dolce vita.

CALLING THE SHORTS
The power of a short film goes beyond its ability to pander to shrinking attention spans. As Thong Kay Wee, the programme director of the Singapore International Film Festival, explains, \"the format is often more inclusive because of its lower production cost, giving space for niche stories and creative freedom to exist\", adding that \"historically, short films have always been an integral feature of local cinema\".

DAYS OF BEING WILD
It began life as the Golden Theatre - Singapore's largest cinema when it opened in 1973 – and was transformed 11 years ago by Karen Tan, Sharon Tan and Blaise Trigg-Smith into The Projector. A bold, indie institution residing in Golden Mile Tower, it challenged the rules of movie-going and became the beating heart of the city's alternative film scene. To survive though, The Projector had to be more than just a cinema - and so it evolved into a space for creative risk-taking, subculture and community. Living up to its tag line, \"Not Your Average Cinema\", it rewrote what a film venue could be. Three months on from its unexpected closure this August, co-founder Karen reflects on more than a decade of cinematic rebellion, cultural experimentation and what it meant to build - and lose - a space like no other.
