Golden Aged

"[i]n every culture, age, like any other important category, is organized

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...

Jawbone Walk, Edinburgh All of the students have finished their dissertations. They have grass, beer and relative sunshine. The Meadows have become a playground. Summer briefly visits.
