66-year-old style icon is making heads turn

There are two reasons that 66-year-old Tziporah Salamon likes to cycle around New York City.  For one, it’s great exercise.  The other reason is that she loves to show off her one of a kind fashions.  Talking to The Brisbane Times she says, “The garbage collectors honk their horns, and I even met a dear friend when I was stopped at a light and she shouted, ‘I want to be you when I grow up!’ ”

Tiziporah has become a massive Instagram start with over 25,000 followers and is about to release her new book, The Art of Dressing: Ageless, Timeless, Original Style. She believes that the fashion companies of the world need to stop overlooking the over-60.  She says, “Women over a certain age are often ignored by the fashion industry and when they don’t see themselves reflected in the magazines, they can think that style is frivolous, or something that they shouldn’t be interested in any more”. She adds, “We think we should only be making time for the ‘grown-up’ things in our lives: children, grandchildren, partners, career, the house. What I hope you will see from the women in this book is that, for them, great style is the least of it. They are all so much more than their style, but having a personal look is an important part of who they are, too.”

She is also more than happy to offer some advice for those that want to level up their fashion.  She says, “We begin with the fact that you must know your body”.  She adds, “I’ll start the class dressed in three black outfits, to show what I’ve learnt about my own silhouette. Why do these black pants not go with this black top if they’re both black? It’s about proportion.”
