A photographer looks for old eccentric people in the street

And his blog with images becomes a cult

A fashion dictated by real life

The photographer Ari Seth Cohen, 28 years old, has created a blog of great success.

The original thing is going around searching for models older than 60.

Photos shot in the street to persons wearing clothes with taste, not necessarily elegant, but with a marked sense of personality and style.

Old people that have been young in the sixties and adult during the wonderful seventies.

“Elderly people” do not have anything to show anymore and they do not have to seduce somehow.

This is why these persons considered old are freer and more inventive.

Having fun, keeping in shape, using the life style and the creativity to remain vital and enthusiast”.

Elio Fiorucci says, street fashion guru and theorist of the individual originality in terms of style to dress:

“Those who have listened to the Beatles’ music when they were young can not forget it even though they are grannies now.

The fashion is the writing of our personality and this becomes even more true with the time.

Indeed today, more than once, we wear following our taste and not the age”.

The photographs vary from the clothing to the research of the most original accessories: scarves, hats and shoes which is the more exciting session.

Ari Seth concludes:

“Honour your father and mother, above all honour your grandparents and try to learn from them two or three small things on how to enjoy life”.
