The Age of Fashion

It is often said that fashion is youth obsessed. In our view, there is some validity to this statement.....or is it envy?Wouldn't we all like to return to those halcyon days when one could party all night long? Consuming and smoking... and go back to work the following day none the worse for wear, ready for another night out? That porcelain complexion, etc., etc....well maybe...

There is no doubt that some of these "young pups" are definitely pushing the boundaries of fashion and sometimes steering the ship but...

....we believe that fashion isn't so much about youth and clothes as it is about style and attitude and most of all that self assurance and confidence that come with, dare we say i,t AGE!!

From the incomparable Diana Vreeland....
...who reached the pinnacle of her career in fashion, well into her seventies.

To the wonderfully fabulous Iris Apfel who continues and is still glorious in her eighties....to the amazing Catherine Deneuve, who, no matter what, continues to be the definition of the true "parisienne"at any age. Bravo, Cherie!True some of the pictured here are from the rarefied world of fashion.
Thank-you Garance Dore,

Scott Schuman, and Tommy Ton...but...how could one not fall in love with this wonderfully stylish Parisian couple seen recently during Paris Fashion week.
Or these two beautiful men at Pitti Uomo, in Firenze.


We can only hope that, when we too "grow up", we will be able to reach the heights of style the pictured here are currently enjoying. We have recently been introduced to"Advanced Style" a joy of a blog, that celebrates the wonderfully stylish people of a certain age.We highly recommend that you check it out here
They are a true inspiration of what it is to be"fashionable", and dare we say it, envied.
