Oh wow I was just thinking of her yesterday.

She was and will be such an inspiration.

She "did it (her) way!"

and inspired many to do it their way too

Thank you Iris!

Well now there's a life well lived. She was on HSN into her 90's. Didn't look it either.

Awwwwww!😢 This somber news BREAKS my heart!!💔 She was a one of a kind BEAUTIFUL, dynamic spirit who charted her own path and lived life on her OWN terms; ALWAYS a leader!❤❤

Her unique style just cannot be duplicated! Her signature eyewear will always come to mind when I think of her.😊 She was a vivacious, beautiful, sharp as a tack, soft spoken LADY and I will miss her.❤❤🥰

I own several of her unique bracelets from HSN and cannot wear them because of their generous sizing, but will now treasure them!😊

May her beautiful soul rest in peace!❤

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

As original, unique, and timeless as they come. My word, just look at those "bangle" bracelets. And another word to describe her....beautiful.

@PansyBoo - Those bangles give new meaning to the word "BANG-el".They could double as weapons, and be used to knock someone out, for sure.

May she rest in peace. She had a style all her own.

I've thought of her as Shawn's mentor everytime I see her goofy glasses. They did more for Iris than they do for Shawn.

My daughter once told me that when she's an old lady she wants be like Iris. Big glasses and always styling. She was a lovely, spirited classy lady.

She was an amazing creative talent. She and her husband Carl founded Old World Weavers................a luxury design house specializing in textiles from 17, 18, 19 Century. They were known for their restoration of fabrics and furniture as well a their beautiful fabrics. They did work for the White House as well as may high profile clients. She was known in New York for her original style of dressing in addition to her talent for design. She and Carl sold Old World Weavers but were brought back at times on a consulting basis. Carl passed in 2015 at 101. They enjoyed a very rich and rewarding life.

She was amazing!
