An unapologetically bold, stimulating, and inspired collection of photos and interviews with a cross-section of African American men and women age 50+ who share their stories, their styles, and how their love of fashion was born and bred.
Dazzling images from up and coming photographer Milton Washington capture their fashion choices and very essences —from intrepid to chic, from sophisticated to free-spirited. And, written by award-winning novelist Connie Briscoe, powerful narratives about their backstories, struggles, and triumphs will reveal the vast cultural, spiritual, and historical influences on their style evolutions.
The full book package will poignantly represent why seniors’ styles are so profoundly meaningful and connected to their identities as African Americans, worthy of celebrating and important to chronicle for future generations.
