"The Fashion World's Silver Stylistas"--a feel good article
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22013245At 93, Ilona Royce Smithkin didn't expect to become a style photographer's muse, even less a model for a global fashion house.
When a young photographer started a blog in 2008 called Advanced Style in homage to the stylish senior citizens of New York, he heard on the grapevine about a boldly-dressed artist in her late 80s with flame-red hair and sky-high eyelashes of the same hue. Ari Seth Cohen, now 31, was immediately intrigued and began searching.
"I knew I just had to meet her," he laughs. "She sounded just like the pictures of expressive, colourful older women I used to draw as a child."
