IRIS APFEL COMES TO ANNABEL’S
2015-07-30Last night Annabel’s welcomed the legendary New York fashion Icon Iris Apfel to host an exclusive dinner to celebrate ‘IRIS’, the highly anticipated documentary about her life.
Screened at the Curzon Mayfair prior to dinner, ‘IRIS’ pairs late documentarian Albert Maysles with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. Following a welcome introduction by Iris during the drinks reception at Annabel’s, diners then enjoyed burrata with an heirloom tomato salad to start, stone bass with broad beans and pea risotto and sauce vierge to follow and Annabel’s signature bitter chocolate ice cream and raspberry sorbet to finish.
Throughout the evening, Veuve Clicquot champagne was flowing and guests were treated to Belvedere cocktails including the classic martini, espresso cocktail, and specially created classic Belvedere sours with Iris’ iconic glasses stenciled into the foam!
Notable guests included: Iris Apfel, Charlotte Dellal, Jack Guinness, Markus Lupfer, Nicky Haslam, Ella Catliff, Christopher de Vos, Henry Holland, Roksanda Illincic, Suzy Menkes.
