Advanced Style is Ari Seth Cohen's blog-based ode to the confidence, beauty, and fashion that can only be achieved through the experience of a life lived glamorously. It is a collection of street fashion unlike any seen before-focused on the over-60 set in the world's most stylish locales. The (mostly) ladies of Advanced Style are enjoying their later years with grace and panache, marching to the beat of their own drummer. These timeless images and words of wisdom provide fashion inspiration for all ages and prove that age is nothing but a state of mind.

Ari Seth Cohen started his blog inspired by his own grandmother's unique personal style and his lifelong interest in the put-together fashion of vibrant seniors. Each of his subjects sparkles like a diamond after long years spent refining and perfecting their individual look and approach to life. The Advanced Style book will showcase, in luscious full-color, the best of the blog, but will also act as a true guidebook with all-new material featuring wardrobes, interviews, stories, and advice from a cadre of his most chic subjects, along with a large selection of never-before-seen photography-fresh off of sidewalk catwalks around the world!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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.”
Ari Seth Cohen, StyleCaster

Advanced Style, for all Ages
So many of the reviews written about Advanced Style is about how inspiring it is for women over the age of 50, but I disagree. The popular blog, and now a newly published hard cover book, is inspiring for people of ALL AGES. I'm in my 40's and you can not underestimate the impact seeing all sorts of women "of a certain age" being CELEBRATED. In a society that sweeps a woman past 30 to the sidelines as being sartorially irrelevant, it is refreshing AND revolutionary to look at these images of these glorious women in their 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond, as captured by Cohen's lens.No need for tips on how to dress, just witness the variety and diversity of the ladies shown, add your own personality and stir. What they share in common is a colorful joie de vivre, and that appeals to women like me in their 40's. A number of friends my age have said that Advanced Style has inspired them to not give up, but to dress up. The book also seems to appeal to men and women under 30. My favorite response in talking with a 20 year old about the Advanced Style book was her enthusiastic comment of "I LOVE the Advanced Style ladies and I can't not wait to get to be their age!"The book itself is gorgeous: beautifully bound with rich color saturated pages, glossy as a magazine's. In fact, I think of Advanced Style as being more akin to a fashion magazine than a coffee table book. And what's in fashion this year? A marvelous celebration of style for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of us have waited a long time for a book like this.

Finally, a book that celebrates the poise and vivacity of women who have spent decades refining their personal style! This is one of the better `book of the blog' types that I've received, but you certainly don't need to be familiar with the Advanced Style blog to enjoy the book. The women in this book look amazing, and I don't mean `for their age', I mean just totally amazing in general. I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be the freshest and most inspiring fashion book of 2012.

This book is 98% photos, page after page of lovely women wearing the most beautifully put together outfits. There's a range of looks from quintessential elegance to total bohemian. What's striking is how much of the wearer's personality shines through. Usually when I look at street snaps, I'm focused on the clothes and haven't got much interest in the wearer. But the women in this book seem like they'd be good for conversation over a cup of tea. I wish I knew more about them, what their homes look like or what paths their lives took that made them get through the years and looking more vibrant and beautiful than woman half their age.

The book itself is somewhat small for a photo book but thick and printed on good heavy paper with a nice sheen. The headings are set in a typeface that can be hard to read, but those with imperfect sight will be pleased to see that most type has been set quite large for easy reading. Overall it's an easy book to look through.

Personally, I've never been a very conservative dresser. When I was younger, people would tell me, `wear that while you can,' meaning that one day I'd be working in a cubicle somewhere in a navy suit with pantyhose and 2" pumps. Now in my 30s I find myself looking for style inspiration from women my age or older who aren't content to spend the rest of their lives shopping at LL Bean. Am I supposed to give up on personal style now that I'm all grown up? I didn't think so, but having this book of concrete examples to the contrary is certainly an inspiration.

Unlike most fashion books, this one will make you feel good about getting older. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in fashion, young or old.

The book came in a padded package. Well preserved considering how old it is. there were a few marks in it, no big deal. Clean, Well taken care of. Above my expectations for what i was paying for. Thank you for the quick delivery.
I am hoping this dealer will stay in touch and let me know when more books of this quality come along.
For those of us in our 60's and soon moving into those later years, we need serious advice when we continue to teach at University.
This book clearly outlines some good ideas for those of us that are at a loss of what to wear.

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016

As a woman in my seventies, I can appreciate this book very deeply. Our nation is not renowned for honoring people as they age, and so many of us do not just get older, we also disappear into the shadows. Thus it is such a joy to see the photos and read the words of people who bloom brightly in the garden of humanity. The wondrous ladies and gentlemen pictured within these pages are lively, creative individuals, not ghosts of their former selves. Not only are they unique in their dress, but they also have a riverboat full of wisdom and confidence to share with anyone who takes the time to notice. Bravo to them all, and kudos to the authors who realized that they not only exist but are worthy of notice!

This book has, as described, some interesting pictures but it lacks a lot in content. From the book's description I was excepting to get the history and stories behind each of the women featured. Instead, there are only a couple of short snapshots of some of the women featured. The author's introduction and explanation of why he decided to create this book made me think that there would be more to it than just pictures. So, even if it is an interesting concept I didn't feel it was worth it.

J'adore Ari Seth Cohen. Je connaissais depuis un certain temps son blog où il montre des photos prises dans la rue de vieilles dames new-yorkaises très élégantes. J'ai très envie de leur ressembler quand j'aurais leur age. L'originalité et la folies de certaines sont très réjouissantes. A voir sans hésitation, pour tout le monde et surtout celles qui veulent se faire botoxer très jeunes. Regarder comment vieillir n'est pas qu'un naufrage (dixit De Gaulle qui avait tante Yvonne devant les yeux).
