In today's youth-centric society, the celebrities that tend to garner attention in the limelight are young (and perky) 'It Girls'. Fashion is most notably the one industry that discriminates the silver-haired-set and only seems to acknowledge the twenty-something's that tend to dominate the scene. Ari Seth Cohen, blogger and photographer of Advanced Style has attempted to bridge this rather large age gap by showcasing a myriad of older women who possess a savvy sense of style and self-awareness. Cohen's distinct perspective on what it means to age as a woman is expertly documented and truly depicts that despite the absence of youth, women can look and feel beautiful at any age.
