Sometimes it's so easy when we see someone
"pushing the envelope" in terms of fashion boundaries, to
label them eccentric (I know I have been guilty
of this myself :-(
So were these wonderful women below just
eccentrics or were they really fashion renegades?
You cannot start a discussion about fashion eccentrics
or renegades without talking about the lovely
Iris Apfel; the US icon renowned for her over-sized
spectacles and maximalist dressing.
If you want to stand out from the crowd for your
original and idiosyncratic style, then look
no further for inspiration.

So eccentrics or renegades?
Do you agree with the lovely Ms Apfel?
