I love hearing the stories of how couples first met, and that’s exactly what Ari Seth Cohen’s latest book, “Advanced Love,” is all about. It celebrates couples who have grown together over decades. Cohen, who is also the author of “Advanced Style,” has created a heartwarming book filled with beautiful photography, proving that love knows no age limits.
The book launch for “Advanced Love” was a stylish event, themed around “prom” attire, with attendees showcasing their unique interpretations. Many of these stylish attendees are familiar faces, having been featured on 40+ Style before.
One standout outfit featured a statement-making purple hat paired with a classic white shirt. Another stylish guest, artist and writer Beatrix Ost, wore a striking monochrome ensemble with a checked suit, striped scarf, and a hat with a veil, showcasing her love for patterns.
The prom theme was embraced with a full tulle skirt, perfectly complemented by a wrap and layered necklaces. Some attendees seemed inspired by each other, like two stylish individuals whose outfits featured birds and feather-like details.
Another eye-catching look involved expertly mixed prints within the same color family, with a standout hat tying it all together. One couple demonstrated harmonious style, with vintage-inspired looks that complemented each other beautifully. She wore a vintage dress with a pillbox hat and corsage, while he matched with a ruffled shirt and pops of red.
Among the stylish attendees, Dayle showed her love for the arts with her embellished round glasses, a rose-like pleated dress, and a floral necklace. Her stylish friend Carola Vecchio, featured with her partner Andre in Cohen’s book, wore a floral headband with a classic silver dress, while her partner’s shirt complemented her outfit.
Several attendees managed to blend modern and vintage styles seamlessly. Carol Markel, known for her love of graphic prints, kept her outfit simple yet stylish with a 1920s-inspired headband and a chic jumpsuit.
Artist Nita Angeletti incorporated nature into her look, wearing flowers in her hair, while Dayle opted for a floral necklace. Another stylish couple coordinated their outfits perfectly, with New Zealander Tutti Frutti wearing a pink turban and her partner adding a touch of pink to his shoes.
One memorable outfit had a modern Medieval vibe, featuring a feathered hat and long coat, accessorized with an orange scarf. A couple exuded old-school glamour with a tuxedo and a black-and-gold ensemble featuring a star motif and a gold headband.
Ari Seth Cohen, inspired by his stylish grandmother, has been capturing the fashion sense of the senior set for years. His latest book showcases the often-overlooked partnerships of older couples, proving that style and creativity know no age limits.
