We have no idea why fashion is obsessed with youth, when you only need to take a look at grandpas like Ram Shankar Pandey to know style definitely improves with age.
‘Fashions fade, style is eternal,’ as Yves Saint Laurent said. So, why do we ignore, rather than take inspiration from, our stylish grandparents?

This is Grandpa Pandey on an average day. He’s pretty damn cool.
