A few days ago I posted a picture of 72 year old Zoya dressed all in black. Here she is again in a much brighter dress and floral sweater. What first drew me to photograph Zoya, was her confidence and beautiful spirit. Style isn’t only about the clothes we wear, but also how we carry and express ourselves. Zoya’s lives a colorful life filled with music, art, and fashion. Her style is a reflection of her rich appreciation of culture and beauty.

Ask any of the Advanced Style ladies, and they will tell you that a great pair of glasses can really make an outfit. Whether cat eye like the woman above or big and round like our friend Iris Apfel, the right glasses can personalize your look!

At 72 year old, Zoya is confident about what she likes . I asked her how she would define her style and she replied, “I’m my own brand. A little bit Chanel, a little Zoya.” Zoya taught piano lessons for many years. She compares style to music and says that, “Everything must come together organically in harmony.”
