Advanced Style

Sick of being confronted with shades of orange, heavy make-up and hair extensions on 20-somethings? They appear across all fashion media, not least those of the glossy variety. It's not that these women aren't stylish and beautiful, but what about the majority of the population who are not 20-something white females? Do we suddenly become less fashionable and fall into a black hole of style when we hit our forties? Do we forget how to dress? Fear not...Ari Seth Cohen’s blog celebrates the confidence, beauty, and fashion that can only be achieved through the experience of a life lived glamorously.

Cohen's blog and new book, aptly named Advanced Style are a collection of street fashion unlike any seen before; recognising the over 60 who are found perusing the racks of high end stores in some of the most fashionable cities of the world. These timeless images are inspirational and prove that age is nothing but a state of mind. I don't know about you, but I will step out my front door a touch prouder of my early signs of aging (the whole 25 years worth of them)!
