Lynn Dell,one of my favorite Advanced Stylistas, seems to know the most fashionable women in town. She introduced me to her best friend, who like Lynn is full of charm and wisdom. She told me that fashion should be fun and not taken too seriously.Great advice at any age!
Gitte Lee in Vogue Italia
[Photos from Real Life Is Elsewhere]This past summer I met the amazing Gitte Lee while shooting for Selfridges in London. She told me that she had some exciting things coming up, so I was thrilled to see her featured in this month’s Vogue Italia ,shot by Tim Walker. As the article reads, style is truly ageless! Its great to see more and more older models being featured in magazines and ad campaigns.
A Treasured Scarf
This woman looked beautiful walking through the East Village in her purple top and yellow shawl. I asked her about her gorgeous lace head scarf and she told me that she has had it for over 50 years and treasures it dearly. It was passed on from her mother and she can’t find another one like it.
The OGs Fashion Advice
If you have ever seen the OGs website, you know that 93 year old Cuties Cooper gives advice about everything from relationships to fashion. I found this site a few weeks ago and was thrilled to see how The Coopers’ grandchildren have found a way to share the life,love, and adventures of their amazing grandparents. I asked Cutie and her granddaughter Kim if they would make a video that would share The OGs’ advice on fashion and style. Cutie believes in wearing timeless pieces that are simple, elegant, and can be worn throughout the years with updates. She also wants you to know that you’re never so old that it’s okay to be a frump!” Thank you to Cutie and Kim for this wonderful video.

I’m 77 Years Old!I got a phone call the other day that made me feel really good about what I am doing. My friend Lynn Dell called to tell me that lately she has been proudly telling everyone her age. At 77 Lynn is hardworking,full of life and absolutely gorgeous. She never felt the need to tell anyone how old she was, but she explained to me that having her picture taken for Advanced Style has made her proud to proclaim her age aloud. She loves the positive reaction and how her outlook on life affects others. Check out the other amazing ladies above who proudly told me their age. Lynn Dell also has a new page on Advanced Style which can be found on the sidebar.
