Quotable Talk: Ari Seth Cohen

Ari Seth Cohen is a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger based in Los Angeles. Cohen grew up in San Diego and moved to New York in 2008, where he immediately noticed a vibrant community of older women with grand personal styles. This eventually led to the creation of Advanced Style, a blog devoted “to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set.” Over the past ten years, Advanced Style has appeared in national media such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, The Huffington Post, Vice, New York, The Fader, Vogue Japan, Vogue Italia, Elle, Elle UK, The UK Telegraph, Forbes.com, and internationally broadcast news and fashion programs. He has since published Advanced Style The Coloring Book, Advanced Style: Older and Wiser and Advanced Love.

Following the talk, Ari Seth Cohen will sign copies of his book Advanced Pets, available for purchase in the Museum’s SHOP.
