This stunning 90 year old lady told me that she turned in her “old lady cane” to buy this much more beautiful model. She said, ” I don’t want an old lady cane, what a downer.” Style doesn’t end at a certain age and neither does an interest in beautiful product design.

Central Park Style
I was walking by Central Park this weekend when I spotted this lady from across the street. Many of the ladies I interview tell me that they dress depending on their mood, on the weather, and wherever it is that they are going. This lady looks perfectly chic for a Saturday trip to the park.
Ilona Royce Smithkin and her Mermaids
Today I went to visit my friend, 91 year old Ilona Royce Smithkin, to take a look at her mermaid drawings. Ilona has been drawing mermaids for about two years and she would like to make a book of them someday. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. If you are interested in purchasing one email me at Advancedstyleinfo@gmail.com and I’ll contact Ilona for you.
Christophe de Menil
I shot this portrait of designer and art collector, Christophe de Menil for a jewelry series on Vogue.jp. Christophe, 78, designed the pieces above as part of a collection based on sea creatures. She told me that she is inspired by, ” Real things that have scary aspects, things that are insanely wonderful”.

Fine Details
I took this photo by Columbia University this past weekend. I love this gentleman’s hat,coat and shined up shoes. If you look closely you can see part of his argyle ascot peeking through the coat. I think he looks an old movie star, do you?
