Golden Aged

"[i]n every culture, age, like any other important category, is organized
hierarchically. In the West youth is the valued term, the point of reference for defining who is old." (Kathleen Woodward)

The invisibility of older generations is a veritable issue, and yet old age is a gift. In light of the progressive ageing of the worldwide population, I want to celebrate the golden years; particularly in the youth-obsessed world of fashion, I wish to demonstrate that when it comes to style, older might well be wiser...


Now That I’m Older

Sufjan Stevens may only be in his mid-30s but this is still a charming song about ‘old age’ - as he calls it - and about reflection and hindsight. This is a version I saw live at l’Olympia, Paris, last May.
