Advanced Style film celebrates vivacious, in vogue seniors
In a conversation from the Best of Q, photographer Ari Seth Cohen and one of his favourite models, Joyce Carpati, join guest host Wab Kinew to discuss the street style of fashion-savvy seniors and why one need not look young to look great.
For years, Cohen has been taking pictures of older folks who literally stop him in his tracks — and as the appetite for diverse images of aging grows, so too does his project. Advanced Style has gone from blog to book to feature-length documentary.
"We wanted to show a different picture of aging — a really positive, joyful image of getting older," says Cohen, adding that society doesn't pay enough attention to those aging creatively.
