THE REFRESHING APPEAL OF ADVANCED STYLE – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI
Dear Shaded Viewers,
My friend Jonathan Moscatelli made me discover Advanced Style -Ari Seth Cohen's blog- which is dedicated to "the most stylish and creative older folks". As Vivienne Westwood once famously said "When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish." I couldn't agree with her more and find the blog utterly inspiring. This is what true style is all about.
I couldn't resist sharing "Style Advice From a 79 Year Old Lady", one of Ari Seth Cohen's fascinating video interviews.
