Iris Apfel, a famous collector, interior decorator, entrepreneur and, as the spot says, “an icon into the fashion world” was involved in a recent advertising campaign. This great artist tells:
« Someone once told me” You are not beautiful and you will never be, but it does not matter, you have something better: you have style” »
I really liked this phrase, because it really highlights a fundamental aspect of life as well as photography: what makes us unique is the style we choose to have, that can please someone and others do not. Who cares, it is ours.

The reportage refers to the style that takes spontaneous photos, captured without notice the photographers and without any request from them. The pose is placed on the opposite pillar, like that style which guides you in every step you take.
