So the easiest answer is that the I am the same person with the same sensibilities just performing two different roles. Do you have to strip one down to become the other? I feel like you are living in a double life: one as an inspiring social service professor, and one as a fabulous fashion blogger/ model. I was left feeling invigorated and ready to take on the world. Fashion for Lyn Slater is not a consumption of clothing, but rather a mean for positive changes.įor the Age issue of Embodied, I was honored to interview Lyn about her success as a fashion icon, her process of finding herself, and her advice on defying social conventions. She uses Accidental Icon as a platform to reach out to a wider audience and to start interesting and thoughtful discussions about age, feminism and self-love. She inspires everyone around her, from her student in the classroom to her massive following on Instagram with her unapologetic attitude in her style and daily life. In addition to that, Lyn also is an admired professor at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services. She has organically grow more than 250,000 followers on Instagram, and been featured in many prestigious fashion magazines like W, L’Officiel, Harpers Bazaar and so on. She is just expressing herself to the world, and everyone has been loving that. Age is irrelevant for Lyn because she does not try to be twenty, nor she wants to be the face of an age-specific demographic. Lyn then went on to create her blog for smart, creative, fashion forward, and confident women like herself.
Walking by Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week, she caught the attention of many photographers and journalists, as she was mistaken for a prominent fashion guru (which she is now). Lyn actually did not create the blog with an anti-ageism agenda. #AgeIsNotAVariable is not only a catchy hashtag that she uses to represent her blog, but also a motto that she lives by. At the age of 64, Lyn embraces the changes in her life and rebels against any societal conventions that try to stop her from being herself. Oversized sunglasses, statement jewelry and flowy kimonos: Lyn Slater has been turning heads in the fashion world by her unexpectedly cool style and refused-to-be-dyed silver hair.
