London Fashion Week

Proving that less is definitely more, Doushka Krish, 43, looks tres chic in her Kinder Aggugini jacket, classic white shirt and Zara Capri pants.


Not only is Ann Shore founder of the fabulous Story boutique in Spitalfields, she’s also a successful fashion stylist. Just look at this fabulous dress she’s created from a piece of Indian silk. Her vintage ‘You can’t get them like this anymore’ jacket and old J&M Davidson bag aren’t bad either.


David Courts, 64, designed this skull ring for Keith Richards - they’ve been friends for 42 years. He's wearing an Agnes B jacket, donated by a friend, and a John Varvatos shirt... I know, it’s only rock and roll but I like it!


One of the few people dressed for the sweltering heat, Barry Kamen, 46, (and yes you may recognise that name!) says , ‘I’ve had these trousers for 25 years and I still haven’t spilled anything on them.’ Well done that man.


We’ve decided to call this the ‘blonde on blonde approach.’ Jules Winstanley, 45, owner of TCS store in Teddington, knows that pale gold and sandy colours look fab with fair hair.

Happy Birthday Twiggy

The face of the sixties is 60 years old (and botox free) today. At eight and a half stone, Good Housekeeping's number one cover star is two stone heavier than her teenage self but looks fabulous in Bryan Adam's photoshoot in today's Guardian.

For more Twiggy action check out Twiggy: A Life in Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London WC2 - and er, watch out Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the Twigster has just released an album Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance.

Borough Market, September 12th 2009




Don't know what it is, but we just can't stop bumping into superstars! This time it was the world famous, and totally charming, Japanese chef, Harumi Kurihara,62, who's over in London filming for her TV show, East Meets West. We love her gingham tunic top and chiffon trim cardi.




Tatsuya Sasahara, 40 something and a member of Harumi Kurihara's film crew, bought his natty Hackett blazer last year. And, in case you hadn't noticed, is very fond of stripes.



Tracey Kerr, 42, loves her washed-out Fred Perry and thinks 'It's a timeless classic.' Tracey you are not wrong!

Amazing Grace

We've always loved Grace Coddington's styling - it has wit and charm by the giant Hermes Birkin bagful - and now after seeing The September Issue, we simply love Grace. The 68 year-old creative director of American Vogue stands up to scary old Anna Wintour, creates amazing images and does it all with a sense of humour and no make-up. As Wintour says at the end of the film, 'Grace is a genius.'

Bardot's Birthday

Former sex kitten (now just mad about cats), Brigitte Bardot is 75 on the 28th September 2009. And to commemorate, the James Hyman gallery, Savile Row, London has an exhibition of vintage paparazzi shots, plus newspaper clippings of a failed suicide attempt. It's refreshing to see these rare photographs, some of which are not-so-flattering; 'Brigitte Bardot pouting' looks more like BB sulking, with a double chin and pudgy face, surely a taste of things to come? Whilst a Sam Levin picture of BB in orange striped Carnaby Street trousers with the flies undone, looks less like the pneumatic starlet in an erotic state of undress and more like she can't get the zip done up.

The Observer recently featured a beauty and ageing story on Bardot and Sophia Loren at 75; two screen goddesses - two ways to grow old. Comparing Loren, who has 'embraced the idea of being attractive and sexual as an older woman,'(probably with a little nip and tuck) and Bardot who has rejected plastic surgery, devoted her life to animal welfare and recently turned into a fascist. Which approach is the best? We'll leave you to decide.

Style icon: Julie Christie

Wow have we got a story for you.... on our second trip out looking for fabulous over-forties to photograph, That's Not My Age was feeling decidedly uninspired. Maybe all the super-stylish people had left town for the Bank Holiday weekend, or maybe they were avoiding the busy Southbank. Whatever. After an hour or so it was time for a toilet break. So heading back to the Royal Festival Hall, we spotted a very fine looking woman sitting out front with friends. hair casually tied back with a scarf, cute sunglasses and a real life boyfriend jacket, " I'm wearing this jacket because I'm cold. it's my boyfriend's,' she told us later.Yes, really!

A couple of minutes of dithering ensued before photographer, Dvora went over to ask if we could take a picture. After a bit of persuading by friends, the lovely lady nervously agreed. We chatted for a few minutes and Dvora started snapping,' What's your name?' asked the photographer, 'Julie,' came the reply. Ohmigod, this stunning woman with her very own bohemian style was Julie Christie! Star of some of our favourite films - Billy Liar, Darling, Far from the Madding Crowd, Shampoo, Don't Look Now - and of course, more recently an Oscar-nominated role in Away from Her. Stunned and in a complete tizzy, That's Not My Age's mind went blank:

TNMA: 'Oh blimey, I've just realised who you are. I love your work!That film in Canada - you were fantastic.'
JC: 'Oh I thought that's why you'd asked for my photo.'
Dvora: ' No, we just thought you looked cool!'


And then it was over, Julie Christie went back to her friends, Dvora and That's Not My Age went off for a stiff drink. Completely dumbstruck. Well and truly stunned by the style, beauty and genuine loveliness of a proper movie star. Swoon. We Love JC.

Street Style

That's Not My Age and photographer, Dvora have been out and about looking for stylish people over forty - and there are plenty out there! Check out our favourites from Columbia Road flower market, London, 28th August 2009.



Susan Greenleaf, 39 (nearly there Susan!) was at the market with her ever-so-stylish twins Quinn and Hansen. She's wearing an old APC top and a neat little chapeau. We like her laid-back style.



Leon Herbert, 54, says, 'I'm wearing white because it makes me feel angelic!" His jacket only cost a fiver from an old army & navy store.



Irene Duffy, 88, runs a market stall and loves wearing fitted shirts and trousers - but top marks to this stylish lady who always finishes off the look with a sassy scarf.



Krt (and no, that's not a typo) Williams, over 40, works for fabulous fashion company, Junky Styling. We love Krt's nonchalantly piled on necklaces and recycled cuff.





Young Soo Park - can you believe it, is 60 years old? Yes six-o, amazing eh? He's a fashion designer from south Korea and is head-to-toe 10 Corso Como, which has just opened a store in Seoul.
