Having just returned from a week in New York City, I can't tell you how much fun it was to page through this unusual book. Cohen, a fashion hound from childhood, pays homage to the 70+ age set of stylish women who grace the sidewalks of the city. Proving that style and elegance know no upper age limit, the women all express individuality with their clothing and accessories. Some are patrician and conservative; some are wild and over the top. All have the fashion panache to turn heads.The main message of the book is summed up by Lynn Dell, owner of an Upper West Side boutique, "My philosophy is fashion says 'me too,' while style says 'only me.'"(Barbara L., Reader's Services) A pictorial view of older women who have perfected their style. Wonderful for any woman who loves fashion but especially for the more mature woman. It is important to dress for yourself and not worry what everyone else thinks. For me fashion allows me to express who I am. When I feel I look good, I feel good and I have a little more spring in my step. My love of fashion started way back and continues into my senior years. It is part of who I am.
What do You think about Advanced Style (2012)?
When I grow up and get older, I want to dress like these fabulous ladies :) Definitely worth a look.

This is a mostly-picture book, but just fun to look at. The prose that is there is interesting.

I read this with Abi and we cherished every page. The women in this book are true style divas.
