One day she went to meet a friend for lunch outside the Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week. Foreign journalists suddenly surrounded her, mistaking her for a fashion icon and attracting spectatorsIt was a defining moment that turned Lyn into an ‘Accidental Icon’. Her blog of the same name, inspired by the experience, soon began making international waves. She is now a public voice against ageism in the fashion industry and the world.\n<p>“Fashion and my style help me struggle against that invisibility that comes with age.“</p>\n<p>She was once asked about the old notion of ‘dressing for one’s age,’ and her response was clear:</p>\n<p>“We use language to control people’s behavior. This phrase is a way of putting older women in their place. I’m certain that if you feel comfortable in your own clothes, it’s completely irrelevant how old you are.”</blockquote>\nNo one confused her for nothing. She is a fashion icon.</blockquote></p>\n<h2>Fan-fucking-tastic</h2>\nfrom Tumblr [ift.tt/3iSPice](https://ift.tt/3iSPice)\nvia <a href=\"https://ifttt.com/?ref=da&amp;site=wordpress\">IFTTT</a> [ift.tt/3j6ClvN](https://ift.tt/3j6ClvN)\n",
