My dad and I met beautiful 89 year old Regine today, while walking around Chelsea. Dad has been taking part in the photo hunting and was a great assistant today, in fact he took the great clip above. Regine let me know that elders, as opposed to having one foot in the grave, are up coming. I full-heartedly agree, don’t you?
Dressed Up at Spitalfields Market
[Photos and Text Ari Seth Cohen]My mom and I met this extraordinary 96 year old gentleman while shopping at Spitalfields flea market. He told us that he dresses up everyday and that many people take his photo. He thanked us and went on his way. He is the best dressed fellow I have seen in London so far!
Gitte Lee: Once A Model Always A Model
[Photos and Text Ari Seth CohenI came across this gorgeous woman while shooting for Selfridges today and I couldn’t stop snapping away. Her name is Gitte Lee, a former Danish model, and she was one of the most charming and elegant women I have ever met.

Our Better Half’s in Londontown
As many of you know, our photographer Ari Seth Cohen is currently in London doing some scouting for the Advanced Style project with Selfridges. If we’re lucky he’ll get some pics of the ladies and gents on the “To-Do List” I gave him… Who doesn’t want some style tips from the Queen!?
While Ari’s away I’ll be holding down the fort and posting tips from our favorite Advanced Style characters. Each Monday we’ll take on a new topic and you’ll get to hear what Debra, Jenny, MaryAnn, Ilona (and more!) have to say about dressing up while on the road, what bag to carry, skincare, etc…
In the mean time, we’d love to hear more about our readers.
It will help us shape what sort of posts we do during our collective summer vacation…

Advanced Style In London: Shopping at Selfridges
I arrived in London for my project with Selfridges and I’m having a wonderful time! This lady was coming out of the store with her grandchildren when I asked if I could take her photo.
