Beauty & Fashion Views of Style
Icons Over 60
Being grand dames, these style
icons are self-assured, accomplished,
and portray an understanding of the
world that the young girls can look
forward to. Each of these women is
beautiful and impressive. They radiate a
sense of power and style that come from
surviving life�s trials.
"The
body is like a machine�if you don�t
put the right kind of fluids into it,
it�s not going to work so well, or it�s
going to get clogged up.� are words of
Iris Apfel, 93 year old and
retired textile firm owner (Old World
Weavers). As a young woman, Apfel worked
for Women�s Wear Daily and for interior
designer Elinor Johnson.
In her words,
Aging gracefully is about no heavy
makeup, and not too much powder
because it gets into the
wrinkles, and you know, to not get
turtle eyelids, and to not try to look
young. You don�t have to look like an
old fuddy-duddy.
Talking about fashion Apfel adds,
"There�s a sad lack of glamour in the
world today, and there�s absolutely no
fantasy.�

Chanel once said, �Nothing
makes a woman look so old as
trying desperately hard to look
young�. |
 Another, Seasoned stylist and
entrepreneur Linda Rodin, 67 yrs
old, has spent 40 years honing her
talents, and - unlike some - she's
perfectly happy to reveal her age. "I
don't think 66 is old" . About
fashion she says, invest in original
and hold on to it, its cheaper and
always comes back in style, further she
adds " I'm a denim girl. Thank god it's
more available now. I buy a lot of
vintage jeans. I always laugh that I'm
buying the ones that were mine to begin
with. They're exactly what I wore! We
wore button up Levi's 501s that had
baggy legs, we'd roll them up, and I'm
doing the same thing now. I mean, today
I'm wearing � I love these jeans."
Next in the line is no other than,
Lauren Hutton (Kate Moss of her
time), who is one of our all-time
favourites in the signature style
stakes. She possesses that effortless,
nonchalant look that most women half her
age (she's 70) can only dream of - we'd
challenge you to find anyone who wears
the jeans-and-jacket look better. On
one's style, she adds "You've gotta
develop your own and find your own.
We're all completely different -
different bones. Go for what suits you.
Get in the mirror and you really look at
yourself, not with your mother's eyes,
not with your sister's eyes - just try
to get rid of everybody's ideas of who
you are and who you're supposed to be,
and take a good look at yourself." She
says �It�s better to look as if you�ve
just thrown something on rather than
prissed everything up. I like when
things are slightly off-kilter,
asymmetrical and a little messed up.�
Jessica Lange has been named
new face Marc Jacobs Beauty at 64,
Glorious Helen Mirren Is the New
Face of L�Or�al Paris at 69. Similar to
MJ Beauty, cosmetics brand NARS
announced Wednesday that it has signed
68-year-old British actress Charlotte
Rampling to front the beauty
company's 20th anniversary campaign.
Beauty has no age and these
celebrities prove it well.
