These ladies have some amazing style, they are also creative professionals who are the fashion darlings of New York.  This photo was taken for a tea party at the Carlyle Hotel, for the recent New York Times article, “Garb Fest,” written by Lynn Yaeger.  I stumbled upon the photo in a Fashion blog called Advanced Style, where the personal style of older folks is celebrated.
