Black and Red

black german hat 500x666 Black and Red

This bright red coat and big black fur hat drew me in from almost a block away – I couldn’t resist.  Two colours I adore (I know, I know, black isn’t a colour!).  Can you believe this woman is 89?  She radiates youthfulness!

black hat 500x666 Black Hat

A smart and playful look – peach pants, orange socks, white shoes and a black hat.  You wouldn’t think they would look great together, but they do!

In a recent article about Granpaparazzi in the Globe and Mail, I talked about how hard it was to find seniors in fashionable footwear. I spoke too soon! A few weeks ago I was down in Portland, Oregon and I spotted this woman’s incredible legs from a mile away! Rocker through-and-through.

This couple just looked too wonderful for me to let them walk past me without taking their picture.  Notice that they each have polka dot print shirts beneath their blazers.  Very charming.

I’ve always enjoyed the clean look of black, but I definitely appreciate the added flavour that the textured material, white scarf, and fabulous hair bring to these outfits.  My guess is that these ladies always have a little flair to their look!  Check out a close up of those braids below.

New York City Model

This woman modeled in NYC for five years and she’s stunning to this day.  Gone are the days, however, of floating through Soho in perilous heels.  She looked sleek and sporty in her Pumas, which perfectly matched her outfit.  I bet she has a shoe closet full of sneakers in every color.

Woman in Black

frankie1 500x666 Woman in Black

Meet Frankie, a woman after my own heart.  I will never tire of black from head to toe  - it’s a classic look.  From her newsie cap to her perfectly fitted pea coat with gold buttons, she’s really got her look down and she’s lookin’ good.

Originally from France, this woman has tailoring in her blood.  She designed her own clothing as a child and later made one-of-a-kind pieces for clients.  Her hair, however, is what stops people on the street. Luscious!!

What a treat to shoot Granpaparazzi pictures in New York.  This woman is no stranger to the camera.  Apparently she’s been asked to have her picture taken in this fabulous coat before.
