Lyn Slater @iconaccidental
Lyn Slater, well known as @iconaccidental on Instagram, is another example of an older badass, rebel who defies the stereotypes of fashion. Lyn Slater is a whirlwind of gray hair and a steely stare that could shatter glass. Instead of hiding the wrinkles or gray hair, she accentuates them with her fierce fashion choices. This close relationship between clothing and identity is created by her idea that fashion is just as important in expressing yourself. Slater began as a blogger, sharing her personal insights and experiences at accidentalicon.com on the subject matter of culture, fashion, and the human connection. Her fans include a variety of older women and young women who see her style as a fight against ageism, a blatant rejection of all the signs of aging. Her work involves being an educator as well as a model, working both in the classroom and as an influencer on social media. To most of us, reaching the ripe old age of our 60’s and 70’s represents the transition into a stay-at-home grandmotherly lifestyle. On the contrary, Slater believes that age should never define aspirations, declaring, “I have potentially another 20 years of doing amazing things.” As of right now, she has been featured in an endless amount of international fashion magazines as the “coolest grandmother to ever walk the face of the earth.”
