Our chat with the 94-year-old style icon, occasional model, textile connoisseur and, as of this year, movie star. Text by BARBARA L. DIXON

BARBARA L. DIXON: How would you describe your personal style?IRIS APFEL: My fashion sense is similar to my interior design aesthetic. Both are about assemblages. My mother taught me to have a few good basic pieces of clothing and to accessorize. I still change my entire look with just one piece of jewelry. I never met a colour I didn’t like: the bolder the better. And, of course, what have become my signature oversized round eyeglasses. I first bought them because I loved the shape. I wore them as a fashion accessory without lenses every once in a while, until I finally needed the prescription!

Iris Apfel

Q+A

For Iris Apfel, more is definitely more. Colour? A must. Contrast? Definitely. Bold prints? Bien sûr! The New York native is a longtime fashion world favourite, but she also has serious design cred: she and her husband, Carl, ran a textile company for years, and even worked on several White House restorations. Now, she’s attracted even wider attention with the release of Iris, a film by documentary icon Albert Maysles that gives a peek into her unique world. She spoke with founding editor of Elle Decor, Barbara L. Dixon, about her jet-set life, personal style and the luxe look of her Manhattan home.

Fashion icon Iris Apfel earned the nickname Rare Bird for her signature style: massive round eyeglasses, over-the-top fashion choices and armfuls of bangles.

AT HOME WITH ELLEN

MODERNIST CLASSICSEllen loves pieces by iconic modernist designers like Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand. At The Villa, a Tuscan-style house in Santa Barbara, Calif., that she currently shares with wife Portia de Rossi, she pairs a set of Visiteur armchairs by Prouvé with a mod slate-top table, also by the designer. The furniture’s mid-century modern lines offer an interesting visual counterpoint to the rough-hewn stone walls and stairs. Stool by Charlotte Perriand; table lamp, Blackman Cruz.

In Home, Ellen shares photos and decorating lessons from some of her favourite houses, which range from a condo to a horse ranch.

She’s known more for her comedy career, deep love of dance and, oh yes, her watched-by-millions talk show, but Ellen DeGeneres is also really, really into decor. In this excerpt from her new book, Home, she reveals where her love of design started and shares images of her spaces, each highlighting different elements of her signature style.

“I move a lot. As corny as it sounds, to me, home is where the heart is. So moving houses is just another way in which I get to experience life. I mean, I get that moving from house to house isn’t appealing to everyone. After all, it’s right up there in stressors with death and losing a job. But the truth is, moving has always been fun for me.

My family moved a lot. And by living in different houses, I discovered that each one came with a different personality — different moulding, different ceiling heights, different surfaces and floors. But we never owned any of these houses, only rented. So in addition to moving from rental to rental, we spent most Sundays as a family going to open houses.

Although I wouldn’t realize it until later, those Sundays were the beginning of my passion for design and owning houses. The houses I saw as a kid were probably about $60,000 to $80,000 (it was the ’60s in New Orleans) and we couldn’t afford them. I didn’t know that at the time; I imagined each one of them might be our first home. But we never even made an offer. And that is why as soon as I was even close to being able to afford a house, I bought one.”

RECIPE TWICE-COOKED BABY CHICKEN WITH CHILE SAUCE AND KAFFIR-LIME LEAF SALT PG. 120 A signature dish of chef Yotam Ottolenghi’s at Nopi in London, the bird is first poached in broth before being roasted to golden-brown perfection.

8. “Raw” Milk The surge of small-batch food and drink products has made its way to the dairy aisle. Although “raw” or unpasteurized milk is not yet legal in Canada, some U.S. states and most European countries offer it. Eager Canucks can, however, find non-homogenized milk made by local farms, like Sheldon Creek Dairy (pictured), at select markets.

4. Orange Wine Orange wine is having a moment — and no, it’s not made out of oranges. It’s essentially a white wine that’s produced much like a red. The result: a distinct orange hue, increased tannins and flavours that range from floral to earthy. The emerging natural wine movement has helped make it easily available at restaurants, wineries and liquor stores.

RECIPE RUBY WATCHCO’S CHEDDAR CHEESE BISCUITS PG. 121 Chefs Lynn Crawford and Lora Kirk serve up these flaky bites at their Toronto-based eatery daily.

6. Biscuits Back-to-basics biscuits are officially stealing the spotlight from cupcakes and donuts, enticing willing indulgers at bakeries everywhere with a taste of homemade comfort. At home, cooks can roll out rich and buttery results with a few simple techniques (see our tips on page 121).

3. Chicken, Reinvented A boom in organic, free-range farming has helped chicken return to its former glory. Chef Yotam Ottolenghi of Nopi in London is reinventing the bird by cooking it not once, but twice. Restaurant goers are finding rotisserie chickens turning on the spit in eateries everywhere, and home cooks are getting the perfect crispy-skin to juicy-meat ratio thanks to a new wave of smart ovens.

7. Meat on the Side A concern over eating less meat, both for health and environmental reasons, has triggered a flip of the classic plate structure. At top-rated restaurants like Al’s Place in San Francisco, meat is being used as a side or garnish. The rise of veg-focused cookbooks, including, A Girl and her Greens by April Bloomfield, are helping cooks hone their vegetable-cooking skills at home.

Orange wine is produced much like red: white-

fleshed grapes are left in contact with their skins

and seeds during the maceration process

Add shrubs to liquor, club soda, or both,

for a tangy bite with bursts of fresh fruit.

5. Shrubs Carefully crafted sipping vinegars are changing the way we cocktail. Drink orders across North America are being shaken and stirred with a splash of these fruit-and-vinegar syrups. With premade versions now widely available, amateur mixologists can serve up their own versions at home in seconds.

H&H FOOD EDITOR KRISTEN EPPICH DISHES ON THE TRENDS WE’LL BE COOKING, NIBBLING AND SIPPING THIS

YEAR, WITH RECIPES TO GET YOU STARTED.

A mix of steel-cut and rolled oats give this porridge a hearty texture.

Fried bacon gets swapped for grits topped with vegetables in this savoury breakfast-bowl spin.

Bee pollen’s golden granules are chock full of nutrients and have a hint of sweetness.

1. Breakfast Bowls The new breakfast bowl fad has nothing to do with milk and cereal. Countless foodie snaps on social media have inspired everyone to start their day with one of these nutrient-dense, flavour-packed petit dejeuners. Star ingredients like porridge, fresh berries, savoury yogurt, grits and even bee pollen have all been seen in the mix with recipes ranging from easy to elaborate, depending on how much of a morning person you are.

2. The New Sustainable Seafood Hallmarks of sustainable seafood, including the Ocean Wise, MSC and SeaChoice labels are nothing new; what’s changing this year are the offerings inside these packages. Boutique seafood shops and better supermarket fish counters are sourcing lesser-known catches that have mainly been overlooked by commercial fishing until now. John Bil, owner of Toronto-based seafood spot Honest Weight, predicts savoury clams from British Columbia will become a hot commodity in 2016. Other top picks include: Atlantic mackerel, rockfish, smelts and gooseneck barnacles. Home cooks are building relationships with their fishmongers (much like they did with their butchers), and getting tips on preparing their unfamiliar purchases straight from the source.

A DOUBLE TAKE ON FIVE TRENDS

A WALL OF WINDOWS IN THE FOYER GIVES A SIGHT LINE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HOUSE

IN PLAIN SIGHT “With such a large house, the challenge for me was to make it as minimalist and integrated with the landscape as possible,” says Tremblay. He scaled back the exterior to just three materials: the zinc-finished steel of the roof, which wraps around the façade, natural stone and the same engineered-wood panelling used indoors. Slate tiles in the covered entryway continue inside for a seamless transition. Contracting, Bois & Nature Construction; panelling, Prorez; steel, MAC Métal Architectural; slate, Italnord; windows, doors, Alumilex.

STANDING TALL The entrance is on the upper level, so guests descend an open staircase to reach the main living areas, following the slope of the land. Vertical panelling in the cube-like central hall echoes the lines of the trees, and an ethereal collection of tube lights plays up the space’s height. Sculpture, Épilogue by André Desjardins, Galerie Roccia; light fixtures (throughout), Lumigroup.

KEEP IT SIMPLE The island’s partial waterfall countertop in Costa Esmerelda granite repeats the L-shaped element on the living room ceiling and brings in a hint of colour. Swivelling stools by Arteriors that Januario found at Ambienti Design add a little industrial edge against the smooth stone and flat-front cabinets. Countertops, Italnord; faucet, Batimat; cabinets, Atelier Boisteck.



PERSONAL STYLE


Two city dwellers embrace country life and bring the outdoors into their modern lakehouse.Text by KRISTEN KOCH Photography by ANGUS MCRITCHIE

GOING GREEN

Homeowner Sylvie Gosselin.

OPEN PLAN Though the staircase divides the living spaces, a glass banister and painted spruce slats keep sight lines open. “You can see the interplay of the spaces of the house,” says architect Eric Tremblay. Mod lounge chairs are just as pretty viewed from the kitchen or living room, and leafy green gives a shot of outdoor colour. Staircase, banister, Battig Design; upholstery (throughout), Siècle en Siècle; white panelling, Maibec; chairs by Thayer Coggin, Ambienti Design; rug, Crate & Barrel.

S ome design schemes grow out of a piece of furniture, a style or a colour palette. Sylvie Gosselin’s lakehouse began with a grove of trees. Sylvie, who co-owns Montreal

clothing shop Poème, and her husband, Robert, were eager to find a cottage where they could escape from the city and entertain friends and family. After a few visits to existing houses proved uninspiring, the couple called architect Eric Tremblay and designer Mario Januario, with whom they’d worked on the renovation of their Montreal condo. Tremblay led Sylvie and Robert to a lot on Gate Lake in Harrington, Que., where all three had, as Tremblay puts it, a “coup de coeur” over the lake views and the cluster of cedar trees that became the inspiration for the house.

Not only did Tremblay and Januario incorporate the trees — in stretches of wood panelling that

envelop both interior and exterior — they drew from the land itself when designing and furnishing the house. The slope of the roofline follows the property’s gentle incline down to the water, and the rock underpinning the site found its way onto a stone terrace and stone-like polished-concrete floors. And, of course, they maximized the outdoor views. A wall of windows in the foyer gives a sight line straight through the house, so you can see the lake from the front door, and the living and dining rooms were set on the spot where Sylvie and Robert fell in love with the property.

The finished house has converted the devoted city dwellers. “We weren’t sure at first if we would like the place — we’re a very urban couple,” says Sylvie. “But every time we can, we go! We kayak and canoe, take photographs, spend time on the dock and have barbecues and sit around the firepit. We love it.”

WHO: Sylvie Gosselin and her husband, RobertWHAT: A 4,500-square-foot lakehouseWHERE: The Laurentians, Que.STYLE: Modern chalet



PERSONAL STYLE


THE LIVING AND DINING ROOMS WERE SET ON THE SPOT WHERE SYLVIE AND ROBERT FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PROPERTY

WRAPPED UPDark engineered-cedar panelling rises from the fireplace and stretches over the living room to create a snug, well-defined space for relaxing or taking in views of the cedar trees through the wall of windows opposite the sofa. Panelling, Prorez; sofa, Roche Bobois; coffee table, Maison Corbeil; throw pillows, Christian Lacroix; diptych artwork, Gate Lake by Eric Godin, Galerie Roccia.

SET IN STONE The striking green and grey bamboo verde stone on the living room fireplace surround has the look of rippled water and reflects the greenery and rocks outside. A built-in cubby for logs under the hearth neatly solves a storage problem. Stone, Italnord; fireplace, Stûv.

ROOM WITH A VIEWWindows on three walls of the dining room give the feeling of an outdoor room without the bugs or rain. “In the Laurentians, there are lots of insects, so you can’t really eat outside, especially in the early summer,” explains Sylvie. She and Robert almost always have breakfast and dinner here, even when they’re by themselves, but the farmhouse-style table and settee-inspired end chairs can also seat large groups without feeling crowded. Table design, Mario Januario and Eric Tremblay; table fabrication, Atelier Boisteck; green settees, Mario Januario Design; chairs, Roche Bobois; chandelier, Lumigroup.

PERSONAL STYLE


HIDE AWAYThough the principal bedroom is connected to the outdoors by a wall of windows, it also feels secluded, thanks to a tall fabric-lined headboard that cocoons the bed. Low-slung minimalist daybeds and a glass railing on the private terrace (above) don’t interfere with the bedroom’s lake views. Sconces, Au Courant; pillow fabric, Kravet; headboard, bed base, Mario Januario Design; bed upholstery, Siècle en Siècle; rug, Crate & Barrel; wood flooring, Lauzon.

GATHER ROUND The firepit on the terrace is a favourite spot for barbecues come summertime. Irregular slabs of stone inspired the more modern concrete floors in the dining room, kitchen and living room. “It’s alive!” says Sylvie of the concrete. “I love it — it’s heated, it’s comfortable and very good-looking.” Stone, Centre de Pierres Mirabel; concrete flooring, Couvre Plancher Pierre Corbeil.

Inspired by scales, the ancient symbol for justice, this logo portrays perfect balance using simple geometric shapes

in the golden ratio, one of the most significant style principles in architecture, art and design. The idea explores the creation of proportions that are pleasing to the eye not by symmetry, but by harmony. The result is a confident design with a bold message.
