Audience Question

Audience Question:

Dear Chako,

As an artist with a line of designer jewelry I 'm naturally hip. But now I'm starting to wonder am I too old to wear my fav stuff? I'm 38 and watching my friends slowly take the down hill slide to the woman's world dept. What do you think about age related hip?

Kaye

Chako's Response:

My Fellow Artist:

This weekend I'd taken a trip to LA and had definitely found my answer to your question. It is never, EVER, too late to be hip. I must argue, however, that there is an age apropriateness that goes with societal constraints, but you can be hip at whatever age. Your friends drifting over to the Women's Department, only means they feel the strains of these societal pulls.

YOU, on the other hand, wear what you feel and what you like which is so important in your productivity, mood and creativity. May we even say, you risk conformity. I say---YOU GO GIRL! Hipness defies age, not soul. Oh--and if you ever get the chance--send me a peek at your artwork, I'd be delighted!

Peace,

Chako S.
