The stereotype that older people are far from the digital world should have disappeared long ago. We've collected the coolest ******* pages created by women over 60. They dress stylishly, lead an active lifestyle and travel a lot. Such profiles can convince everyone that old age doesn’t exist only to knit socks and take care of the garden-although these are also cool.

Italian Rossella Gardini understands a lot about fashion, because she devoted half of her life to this industry. She worked at the Moschino house, where she became Creative Director immediately after the death of the brand's founder, Franco Moschino. Then there was a dark episodewith her scandalous dismissal, and Rossela had to leave the brand, although she didn’t want to.

But the woman didn’t stop doing fashion and began to advise designers, and in 2016 at Milan fashion week presented her first collection of clothes. She emphasized bright colours, bows and ruffles, and put vintage jewelry from her personal collection on the models.

Gardini's wardrobe occupies several rooms in her Milan apartment, and there is no room for any mass-market items. She prefers only luxury brands and loves vintage. This woman is impossible to meet on the street in a casual way. She always thinks through her looks, makeup and hair to the smallest detail, even if she just goes for a walk with her dogs. Rossella has two, and affectionately calls them Musketeers.

Sarah-Jane Adams

Sarah-Jane Adams never considered her appearance to be attractive and didn’t dream of becoming a model. She retired and started making handmade jewelry. Adams sold and gave them to friends and acquaintances, and then her daughters advised their 64-year-old mother to start an ******* blog and upload photos of accessories there. Sarah had to learn how to use a smartphone, and now she posts new pictures almost every day.

Sarah's ******* became popular immediately after the first photo-now the woman has about 185 thousand subscribers. Brands constantly call her to take part in fashion shows and walk the catwalk, and sportswear brand Adidas invited her as an Ambassador.

Most often Sarah-Jane wears things in ethnic style-long wide dresses with bright prints, shawls and capes. But no less she loves tracksuits and sneakers. Adams isn’t shy about his age – she doesn’t dye his hair or do plastic surgery. Success came to her only in retirement, so she takes great pleasure from everything that happens in her life.

Now the woman is blogging Accidental Icon for mature and confident ladies. Slater created it solely for educational purposes – she doesn’t place ads on her blog and doesn’t take money from sponsors.

Lyn's main occupation is a sociology teacher, but it is impossible to call fashion just her hobby, because she looks so organically in every image. She isn’t obsessive about collecting only expensive outfits in her wardrobe, but says that she would never star in those things she wouldn’t ever wear. Someof Lyn's favourite brands are Mango and H&M, and she certainly already has collaborations with them.
