The new Advanced Style documentary based on photographer Ari Seth Cohen's blog of the same name, takes a look at the lives of seven unique New Yorkers to illustrate a few unconventional ways of aging fashionably. The documentary shares the perspective of women of ages between 62 to 95, who defied expectations when it came to conventional looks, not letting society's expectations dictate their style.
The Advanced Style documentary directed by Lina Plioplyte was already released in the US and will be released in the UK on Friday. Among the movie's protagonists are 81-year-old New York boutique owner Lynn Dell Cohen, 81, Tziporah Salamon, 63, a stylist performance artist, model and design teacher, Ilona Royce Smithkin, 94, an acclaimed artist, and Jacquie Tajah Murdock, 83, who became a model in the Lanvin fall/winter 2012 ad campaign that featured real people of different ages instead of traditional models.
The film, which began in 2008, also features socialite Zelda Kaplan who died during production while in the front row of the Joanna Mastroianni show at New York Fashion Week.
