Photographer Ari Seth Cohen is the talent behind Advanced style blog, has launched the careers of Iris Apfel and consistently  reaking the stereo type that older women can’t be beautiful. He  finds his models  – elegant older women  – on  the streets of  New York. The youngest of  them is  59  and the oldest is  102 years old.

These inspiring women know that true beauty is  timeless, and taste and style only improve over the years. They don’t hide their age, dye their grey hair or  waste money on  plastic surgery. They go  through life with their heads held high, and it’s hard to  look away.

Every woman looks beautiful when she wears her spirit and personality. Let these images inspire you to embrace your own unique beauty.
