Flanked by a pair of dapper fellows, I was in sartorial heaven

With my posh parasol that complemented my polka-dot look, I was ready for my close-up

Dressed to the nines as Marie Antoinette and Cleopatra, respectively, these ladies had a wonderful time with fashion

With his hard-edged sense of style, this gentleman certainly made me mad for plaid

Adding a gilded twist to cool and crisp fashion, this lady captured the style spirit of New York perfectly

I’m not sure what pleases me more – the fact that this young lady is fearless with fashion or that she made her mark amongst the style masses

Meeting this stylish stunner on the steps of Lincoln Center certainly had me tied up in knots

Following up with another fabulous day of Fashion Week, I decided to jazz things up in jewel tones

In his golden glory, this young man was in fine form for Fashion Week

Soon after, I had the pleasure of meeting a lady who shares the same appreciation for color as I do. Quite a stunner in a periwinkle blue shirt and cherry red pants, she sizzled with typical New York sophistication

These young ladies each decided to show off a different take on the New York City uniform of basic black After coming across this lady, I recognized her as an epitome of the Off Broadway Boutique woman who dresses for the theatre of her life

Fashion Week also tends to inspire the best in casual street style, which I was fortunate to find in this young lady

Vintage style blends into the New York City canvas perfectly, which is why it was natural to see two lovely ladies attend Fashion Week in their forties-style finery

Finding a kindred spirit in jewel-toned style was a wonderful way to bid adieu to Fashion Week at Lincoln Center

One of the biggest misconceptions about fashion is the idea that it is something exclusive that can only be enjoyed by the elite. As you can see by the chic and fascinating people that I met during my time at Fashion Week, there is a collective love for fashion that makes up the fabric of New York’s originality. It is the same framework that I’ve presented and will continue to represent at Off Broadway Boutique for years to come.

The night was filled with glamour and class, in the form of inspirational women who aren’t afraid to express themselves with vibrant colors, one of a kind jewelry pieces, and flamboyant fashion. Every form of style – from vintage to contemporary modern – was displayed throughout!

Our very own Lynn Dell was honored with a stunning large framed photo that hung on the wall of the hotel, while she enjoyed a video screening along with Ari’s inspiring top models. As always, she created a plenty of commotion and attention as camera flashes went off. Her outfit consisted of a stunning hat that was recently was added to Off Broadway Boutique’s chic hat collection to complement her pearl jewelry by Kenneth Jay Lane.

The Off Broadway Boutique family – living it up with style!

A distinct greying influence has infiltrated the fashion world of late. This is not a matter of color palette, but rather verified by the growing number of mature faces gracing fashion magazine covers. And with the sartorial choices of older folks inspiring blogs of a higher order than ever, it might be—yikes—that senior citizens are surpassing their younger cohorts in becoming the moment’s truest fashion trendsetters. An AARP member as style icon?  Don’t bet against it.

Online: Twenty-eight-year-old Ari Seth Cohen created his blog Advanced Style in 2008 “as proof…that personal style advances with age.” Cohen sees older people as more comfortable in their skin, and documents proof of his theory on his blog with photos that capture their distinctive flair. He travels through the streets of New York equipped with a Canon Rebel, making stops at museums, theaters and the Upper West Side’s Off Broadway Boutique. His site is brimming with snapshots of put-together seniors who aspire to dress like the world is a runway and live life to the fullest. Don’t miss his videos, co-directed by Lina Plioplyte, which often reveal pearls of style philosophy that inform the outfits.

On the Runway: Evidence from last fall’s top shows proves that even those past the age of 65 are hot to trot in high fashion. Now 71, iconic mod supermodel Veruschka strutted her stuff for Giles in London, while Juan Duyos cast a troupe of sixty-somethings for his Madrid show. H&M got into the act, including a white-haired grand dame in its video for Lanvin x H&M. And, in a business where reaching legal drinking age typically signifies being nearly over the hill, it was a slap against convention when 46-year-old Kristen McMenamy and 47-year-old Elle Macpherson recently showed up on several runways. Makes one wonder: Since teens typically don’t buy high-end designer clothes, why should they be used to sell them?

On Video: To promote the opening of Sicily’s first-ever fashion outlet center, viral media company Mosaicoon hit the streets to capture video footage of stylish characters for a playful documentary-style promotional piece. The finished product—“Incredible Fashion Town”—featured amusing fashion profiles of some of the most outré senior styles around. (Who knew the ancient village of Agira was so chic?) This charming bit of creative inspiration was intended to showcase the heterogeneity of style, and of course to encourage everyone to shop. The video swept across the blogosphere and was adored across the board. Our personal takeaway? Shop Grandma’s and Grandpa’s closets.
