Advanced Style examines the lives of seven unique New Yorkers whose eclectic personal style and vital spirit have guided their approach to aging.
Fashion docs are often shallow in the extreme but this one is as much about fighting back against the ravages of time as it is about air kissing – and is all the stronger as a result.
It doesn't reflect too deeply on age and ageing,, doesn't dwell on the sadder and complicated side of things, and perhaps gravitates towards self-conscious eccentricity, but it's affectionate and watchable enough.
Inspirational, touching and absolutely fabulous.
Sweet, funny and very, very New York.
Most of them have more life than people half their age; what a brilliantly rejuvenating double bill this would make with Anson and Hugh Hartford's brilliant Ping Pong.
A highly enjoyable glance at Gotham's veteran haute couturists.
