Maureen Gates is a costume designer and stylist who has dressed some of the world’s most famous women---many of whom were well over 50.  Her goal is for you to look your best at any age.

Candice Bergen is 62.  Oprah Winfrey is 55.  Susan Sarandon is 61.  Helen Mirren is 63.  Yoko Ono is 75.  When Meryl Streep, 59, made an appearance on Jon Stewart’s show last year, he remarked, “Hey, you  may be the greatest living actress and all that, but you are HOT!”  These women are not young, but by all accounts, they look fabulous.  They haven’t had copious amounts of plastic surgery, and they don’t try to look younger than they are.  What is their secret?

Maureen’s philosophy is simple and practical: women do remain alluring and attractive. Their bodies and faces may change, but they don’t have to resign themselves to “old lady” clothes or desperate attempts at youthful clothing.  This message is particularly suited to the baby boomer generation, now in their 50’s and 60’s, who are loathe to surrender their heyday of counterculture and do not go gently into that good night.

This is about being a classy, unique, and sensual woman by being comfortable in your own skin and embracing your years.  It’s about knowing how to show off your still great-looking legs without looking silly, and it’s also about recognizing that the bra size you wore twenty years ago is no longer working for you. 

Today’s over-50 woman wants to look great and she’s not surrendering to the old stereotypes.  She might be you, she might be your globe-trotting aunt, or she might be Meryl Streep.
