Plus an introduction from the always fabulous and witty Simon Doonan makes for a celebration of smashing senior style! "...I must tell you that I am not really an old lady; just cleverly disguised as one. Art and color keep me young, keep me sane. Working as I do as an untutored 'outsider' artist is my therapy, my medicine, my joy, and my purpose in life.Color surrounds me: I revel in it, splash it everywhere, gulp it with a spoon. I am immersed in art. I make it, collect it, it fills and defines my existence. Childish, shamanistic, wild and anarchic, it is as far outside the box as it is possible to be. Box?? There is no box!Be bold, be adventurous. Do profound things, dazzle yourself and the world. Don't wear beige: it might kill you. Contribute to society, and live large. Life is short, make every moment count. It is never too late to find your passion." -- Sue Kreitzman

When Ari Seth Cohen’s grandmother Bluma passed away in 2008, the author and photographer took her advice and moved from California to New York City in search of his creativity. Cohen immediately began to photograph and interview the senior fashionistas he saw on the city’s streets as a way to deal with loss and explore his creative passion. He soon created a blog titled Advanced Style that quickly attracted the attention of the fashion industry. In 2015, The New York Times now-Chief Fashion Critic Vanessa Friedman credited Cohen with creating a global movement which has led to more age diversity and increased visibility for older models in popular culture, fashion, and advertising. This blog was inspired by his own grandmother's unique personal style and his lifelong interest in the uber-curated fashion of eclectic seniors. In 2012, Cohen released his first coffee table book, the widely successful Advanced Style. It sold 80,000 copies around the world and quickly became powerHouse Books’ most successful title on social media. Cohen brought his colorful subjects to the big screen in the critically acclaimed Advanced Style Documentary. This was followed by a second book, Advanced Style: Older and Wiser (2016, powerHouse Books) and Advanced Love (2018, Abrams). Advanced Pets invites readers into a world of heartwarming connections between fabulously attired senior style icons and their beloved animal friends.
