This dapper fellow gets my vote for the best dressed man at this year’s Easter Parade. I have seen him around town a few times, always dressed to the nines in vintage. I’m not quite sure that he is old enough for Advanced Style, but I just had share this incredible look.
I caught up with Valerie and Jean at The Easter Parade and was delighted to hear that they were featured on WABC-TV News this week. Check out the great clip below and if you haven’t already stopped by their blog it’s a must see. More from Valerie and Jean, The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas HERE.
I love going to the Easter Parade every year and seeing all the people dressed up walking down 5th Ave. There are so many wild and wonderful things to see, but I make it a mission to take inspiration from the costumes, but only photograph those dressed in their everyday clothing. I photographed the woman above two years ago, in a stunning purple floral hat, and was excited to to see her this year in an equally gorgeous red one. I’ll be posting more photos from the parade this week.
On a side note I was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition today. If you wanna take a listen CLICK HERE.
I was walking to an appointment in my neighborhood when I passed this elegant woman. I quickly turned around, crossed the street and asked if I could take her photograph. She nodded in approval and continued on her way. Although we didn’t exchange any words, I am so glad she stopped to let me take her photograph and look forward to running into her again in the neighborhood.

It’s not often that I come across sites as cool as Australian born, Berlin based photogrpaher Zoe Spawton’s tumblr What Ali Wore. Zoe spotted 83-year-old Ali as he walked by her work in a sharp new outfit every morning. One day she decided to ask if she could take his photograph. Zoe explains in her first blog post, ” Ali walks past the cafe I work at in Berlin every morning at 9:05am. I’m
not sure where he is going, but we always say hello to each other. He
always wears such great clothes. I don’t speak much German and he speaks
a little bit of English, but I managed to ask if I could take his
photo. He gladly accepted. ” Zoe and Ali have since become friends and collaborators. If you are a fan of Advanced Style then you are going to love What Ali Wore. Check more great shots of Ali HERE.
