Valerie is featured in the latest book by author Ari Seth Cohen, Advanced Style: Older and Wiser. Ari Seth Cohen  started photographing people in their 60’s and up that express themselves creatively through the clothes they wear. “What started out as a blog in 2008, grew into a book, film, and eventually a movement re-imagining our vision of aging and vitality,” Ari recounts on his blog.

We are inspired by the promise of growing “older” and wiser. “Age is just a number,” Valerie states in a recent article in the printed Style section of the Los Angeles Times. More articles on Advanced Style here. and here. Get your copy here.
