Ari Seth Cohen with his book, Advanced StyleAri Seth Cohen began the presentation with an amusing
account of the origins of his fascination with fashionable older women, and
ended with a sneak peak of his three years in the making documentary about the
eccentric and vibrant women that grace the pages of his book Advanced Style, as well as his
blog. Within two three-minute trailers,
the women in his film prove that fashion and style only gets better with age.

| Rachelle Bergstein with her debut book, Women from the Ankle Down |
Rachelle Bergstein wrapped up the presentation with an
introduction to her debut book Women from
the Ankle Down, which explores the history and analyzes the enduring
obsession with footwear and its impact on feminine culture. Focusing on the 20th century, Bergstein
looks at popular media—think Carrie Bradshaw, and examines the desire for
height and innovation—which cannot be uttered without reference to Alexander
McQueen’s jaw dropping 10-inch “armadillo shoes, from his Spring 2010 runway
collection.
So check out both books, and if you are remotely into
fashion, unique people or shoes, they are guaranteed to be good reads.
