STYLE ICON IRIS APFEL THE FACE OF NEW DS 3

DS Automobiles has announced Iris Apfel as its brand ambassador for New DS 3. Apfel, 94, fronts the New DS 3 advertising campaign ‘Driven By Style’. The New Yorker is known as the great-grandmother of the fashion world, having inspired three generations of fashion designers.

STYLE ICON IRIS APFEL THE FACE OF NEW DS 3

Legendary businesswoman, interior designer and fashion icon, Iris Apfel, has been revealed as the ambassador for New DS 3.

Apfel, who is 94-years old, is instantly recognisable thanks to her trademark oversized spectacles and exotic wardrobe, and is acknowledged as a style icon for her unique way of expressing creative flair.

The announcement of this ‘Driven by Style’ campaign reflects the DS brand’s embodiment of avant-garde design. DS Automobiles is underpinned by innovation and unique styling, which has been inspired by the first ever DS, launched in 1955.

Apfel recently designed a range of wearable technology, which further reinforces the synergy with the DS brand, marrying elegance and cutting-edge technology.

The New Yorker started her career as a textile importer and interior decorator to the rich and famous in the 1950s and ‘60s. Since then, she has inspired authors, curators and fashionistas across the world. Last year, a documentary titled ‘Iris’ was made about her life.

New DS 3 and DS 3 CABRIO are the latest models to be unveiled by DS Automobiles, with new design features building on the original look of DS 3 and focusing on its strong personality, refinement and style.

With over three million personalisation combinations, New DS 3 allows customers to exhibit their own personal style on the road.

Priced from £13,995, New DS 3 has always embodied avant-garde design and was the first DS model to feature the highly expressive “DS LED Vision” light signature.
