Ari Seth Cohen, 35, is the creator of the blog Advanced Style. Before becoming a blogger, he spent several years working in fashion production and retail management in New York City. His blog is devoted to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set. He tries to feature people who live rich creative lives and live life to the fullest, age gracefully and continue to grow and challenge themselves.
Ari has a long time interest in clothing and style and a lifelong affinity for elders. When he was growing up, his late grandmother (a librarian) was his best friend and constant influence. He couldn’t help but question the absence of mature faces in the fashion world, noticing a lack of older people in fashion campaigns and street style sites. He wants to show the world that you can be stylish, creative and vital at any age.
Working with Debra Rapaport was the best way to achieve this goal. Debra, who was shy and intense as a child, found her self-expression and creative hope in museums and antiques. Not content with her prestigious job and secure life, Debra wanted to break free and express her creativity.
Apart from working on her project, Hat Scapes, she has worked with Ari has on several blogs, books and movie and other innovative projects. Today, they are together the ambassadors of the Advanced Style movement and celebrate every moment of their life.
Ari Seth Cohen will be paying a visit to San Miguel. He will be signing his two books Advanced Style and Advanced Style: Older and Wiser at Camino Silvestre on Saturday, February 24. He will be looking for older bolder Mexican couples to photograph for his new book Advanced Love.
