DOES SIZE MATTER? IS PLUS A PLUS?

Eden Miller

"When Eden Miller's Spring 2014 collection heads down the runway at New York Fashion Week on Friday, it will be the first plus-size line to do so. Miller was selected as one of six designers to show her collection, dubbed Cabiria, at the Fashion Law Institute's showcase. Fashion blogs have been quick to run laudatory posts about Cabiria's debut. For example, Refinery29 says it's "truly one small step for style, one giant leap for plus acceptance." And the Daily Mail goes so far as to call the show a "victory" in the "size-zero war."

"A plus-size woman herself, Miller is not only mindful of but obsessed with creating flattering cuts and silhouettes. She discusses scaling up prints to fit the way a smaller print would wear on a smaller woman, and ultimately makes all her plus-size adjustments with joyful pride. "If you have a bigger body, you shouldn't pretend you are a tiny person," Miller said, "There is no point."

This photo is from a wedding but we think it would be lovely for a dinner party when the weather is just right.

Of course no stilettos. Love the crystal necklaces draped on chairs. A great idea for a patrons party or just as above for a rehearsal dinner.

Age : IT IS a STATE OF MIND

OVER 60 NEVER LOOKED BETTER: YOUNGER WOMEN TAKE NOTES

"The only real elegance is in the mind; if you’ve got that, the rest really comes from it."

— Diana Vreeland

"Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it."

— Yves Saint-Laurent

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

— Coco Chanel

Check out the book Advanced Style by Ari Seth Cohen. His photographs inspire.

Found a few more images to give all of us who are or will be women of a certain age the desire to look fabulous.
