Eliot Raffit with Iris Apfel

Eliot Raffit with Iris Apfel


Eliot Raffit was commissioned to honor New York’s Style Icon Iris Apfel with one of his Iconic Ornaments at Bergdorf Goodman on May 24, 2012. The University of Texas hosted a Dinner overlooking Manhattan’s 5th Avenue and Central Park for the generous work Iris continues to do for the University’s School of Fashion. A select crowd of New York’s Fashion Elite and Top University Donors each received a very special gift from Eliot Raffit. Inspired by the mascot and symbol of the University of Texas, Eliot Raffit designed a limited-edition, hand-crafted Longhorn Bull rendered in Vintage Silver Glass Glitter and tied with a loop of Austrian Velvet as a special gift for each guest. Watching One of New York’s Most Celebrated Design Icons singing the praises of one of New York’s newest was an inspiring sight to see.
