These Stylish Women Prove You Don’t Have To Be Young To Be Beautiful

admin February 9, 2015 General No Comments

In the fashion industry, beauty and youth seem to be synonyms. Photographer Ari Seth Cohen started the style blog Advanced Style to prove that you don’t have to be young to be stylish. Seth photographs women over the age of 60, all with eclectic senses of style. Though he’s based in New York City, Seth travels all over the world to expand his portfolio. The blog was recently explored on the silver screen in a documentary of the same name, and received rave reviews. Check out some of Seth’s photos below, and make sure to watch Advanced Style on Netflix.
