"Ari Seth Cohen's new book, Advanced Style: Older & Wiser, which is
filled with street-style photos and brief profiles of older people
who dress with more exuberance than the average millennial, shows
that notion to be nonsense." --Quartz "'Ari's been concentrating on
women of a certain age, but why not men? Maybe they're harder to
find, like a needle in the haystack!' comically posits Derrill
Osborn, one of the breakout menswear stars of Ari Seth Cohen's
upcoming tome, Advanced Style: Older and Wiser." --Vogue "The
subjects in Cohen's photographs are unapologetic peacocks. They do
not abide the unspoken dictates of age-appropriateness nor
subscribe to the current vogue for studied nonchalance." --Slate 'I
must tell you that I am not really an old lady, just cleverly
disguised as one, ' the seventy-five-year-old cook-turned-artist
Sue Kreitzman tells Ari Seth Cohen in his new book, 'Advanced
Style: Older and Wiser.' The bundles of vibrant patterns and
fabrics that she sports certainly suggest a young eye and a joyful
soul, her snowy hair notwithstanding. Cohen has just compiled his
second volume of photographs and interviews, based on his beloved
blog, highlighting the sprightly, inventive clothes he observes on
the city's elderly, all largely ignored by the fashion élite."
--The New Yorker "...now he's come out with a second book, Advanced
Style: Older & Wiser, which not only depicts men and women in all
their splendor, but their hearts and souls, too, with accompanying
essays." --Hadassah
"A certain street-stylish, over-50 set is turning the notion of
age-appropriate dressing on its head, wearing Iris Apfel glasses,
feather boas, and leather that would put Balmain to shame.
Photographer Ari Seth Cohen has chronicled these chic grandmothers
-- and grandfathers -- on his travels in Buenos Aries, Tokyo, and
Sydney." --The Cut "A prolific understanding of what fashions work
best for you, not others, is an acquired skill. And no one has
perhaps captured the art of years-wise dressing better than
blogger, author, and photographer Ari Seth Cohen, who, for
years--eight, to be exact--has scoured to globe to gift us with a
replenished collection of images that highlight just how well
ladies and gentleman of a certain age can dress." --InStyle
"Cohen's work captures the creativity, positivity, and spirit of
fashionable seniors who are transforming cliché notions of aging,"
--Flavorwire "We all have our style icons: RiRi in a Swarovski
crystal thong, Beyoncé in Roberto Cavalli with a baseball bat,
Prince, always. But often our greatest style inspiration comes
closer to home, or right in the family. For Ari Seth Cohen, the
most influential fashion icons are the ones that we might overlook:
our grandparents." --Paper "The book also includes 22 personal
essays from a few of the fabulous faces, offering their time-tested
wisdom on both style and lifestyle, often capturing the
intersection between the two. A fierce panache for fashion and a
daring approach to personal expression seem to coincide with a
wholehearted, vibrant way of being, based on these gray-haired and
glorious ladies and gents." --My Modern Metropolis "As we get
older, it's easy to worry about our looks and to fear invisibility.
The antidote to that is Advanced Style, photographer Ari Seth
Cohen's online homage to older people's street style." --BUST
Magazine
"Now a new book of street fashion celebrates the rise of the bolder
and wiser, who never let age stand in their way of looking great."
--Saga
"With a foreword from the well-loved eccentric fashion commentator
Simon Doonan and essays from some of the subjects themselves, in
addition to Cohen's photographs that brim with glorious
personality, this book is filled with hilarious, well-worn wisdom."
--Rangefinder "From head-to-toe tiger print to bright blue hair,
all-over clashing patterns and heart-shaped shades, every single
look is enviable." --Cool Hunting As seen on

GLAM4GOOD Praise for Ari's first book: "In print and on film, Mr.
Cohen's arrestingly bedizened models embrace fashion with a sense
of play."
Ruth LaFerla, The New York Times
"For all those who are sick and tired of seeing style and fashion
presented solely as a young woman's game, behold 'Advanced
Style.'"
Los Angeles Times "a beautiful catalog of women who aren't over the
hill, but rather ahead of the curve."
New York Post "Advanced Style likely owes its rapid ascent in part
to the dearth of attention paid anyone over 30 in popular culture.
How the opportunity was missed is anyone's guess: According to 2010
census estimates, Americans 65 and older constitute 13 percent of
the population. Those 45 and over -- still two to three times the
age of most female models -- constitute more than 39 percent." New
York Times "'The women who I photograph are confident. They know
what they like, they know what suits their bodies, and they're
dressing for themselves. They don't dress based on trends.'" Ari
Seth Cohen, New York Times "These gorgeous ladies take away the
fear of aging and give us all something to look forward to."
Huffington Post "These women are proof that personal style advances
with age"
StyleList "I was best friends with my grandmother growing up, and
was always inspired by her energy and wisdom. I wanted to show that
creativity, style, and vitality advance with age, and hopefully
help change people's ideas about getting older."
