The Iris Apfel x H&M collection is inspired by Iris Apfel’s unique flair and more-is-more aesthetic, and it features a variety of stunning pieces for everyone. The clothing and accessories were designed to pay homage to the legend’s unwavering independence and unique sense of style.

A playful mix of textures, patterns, and cuts can be found in the collection.
