In Camera - Female style at London Fashion Week

I approached this gorgeous lady at LFW because I liked her style. She particularly asked me to take a close-up shot of her vintage (man's) shirt as she thought, quite correctly, that it would appeal to Grey Fox readers. She writes a website and blog at Shop Curious here.

Grey hair special - grey vixens, women proud of their grey hair

In my search for images for my posts about grey hair in men, I came across far fewer of women. Their rarity got me wondering about the social conventions, pressures and influences that require women to dye their hair, when most men go grey.

Looking at these images (many of whom you will know) I'm struck how rarely we see grey-haired women in their forties and fifties; I wish we could see more.

[Ed. Since writing this post I have started a board celebrating grey-haired women on Pinterest - see here].

I don't know where these images came from originally; please let me know if I've infringed any rights.
