“That’s cool.” Kanye West completely geeked out when he met 93-year-old fashion icon Iris Apfel at the 2011 CFDA Awards. In a clip from Apfel’s new documentary, Iris, that’s made its way onto Vine, the rapper crushes on a seriously cool, yet slightly — and amazingly — flirtatious, Apfel.

“You’re killing it. You look so good tonight,” a smiling West tells Apfel, who is clad in a lime-green top and her signature jewelry and oversized black glasses. “Oh, thank you. My goodness. Coming from a handsome young fellow — wow, that’s cool,” the interior designer responds.
