Advanced Style

An author/photographer's unique look at the New York fashion scene

Ari Seth Cohen is the creator of Advanced Style, a blog that focus's on the fashion style of older adults, primarily, older women. He roams the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. "Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest." Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

After three years, the blog has grown to include a bevy of writings and videos. He and his videographer, Lina Plioplyte, a New York-based freelance, hope to release a documentary of their work, some time this year.

He and his "ladies" just finished a performance on the Today Show, where the "The Ladies did an incredible job!!!", says Ari.
