85. ADVANCED STYLE

fashionable over 60?  that's what street  fashion photographer air seth cohen sets out to show us.  he walks up to stylish women of a certain age on the streets of new york city to investigate their particularly unique fashion sense.  along the way, we get more information of what makes each of these women who they are in their personal lives, that addresses how they put together clothing and accessories to show that to the public.  it's interesting that several of the women describe their fashion as art; their bodies as the canvas; their choices based on what will make the picture complete.  it's fun to see these women live at a place in their lives, where they can be exactly who they want to be.  they might be perceived as "crazy old women" by many who see them walking in their sometimes outrageous outfits, but, indeed, they are just being exactly what they want to be.  it would be great if we all could approach life in this way.  mostly it takes most of us til nearer the end of life to decide to be exactly how we want to be.  i wondered how many of these women looked in their earlier fashion years?  i suspect they always had a totally unique style.  it was fun to watch.  and, fun to think about what i truly want to put out there to the world.
