Lyn Slater and Calvin Lom at Esther Place Slater’s work attracted more than 750,000 Instagram followers ranging in age from 13 to 90. She traveled around the world to give speeches and pose for photographs.

Her photograph was plastered on the sides of buses in London. Slater landed a contract with Elite Models of London and went on to be featured in international magazines. Slater’s blog, with beautiful photographs of the fashionable Slater taken by her partner, Calvin Lom, quickly garnered a tremendous amount of attention. When her friend came upon Slater being photographed, she called her an accidental icon, and the blog had its name.

Her blog got its name after photographers mistook her for a part of fashion week while she was waiting to meet a friend at Lincoln Center. After a great deal of research, she did just that. She started taking courses in New York City fashion schools where people commented on her great style and suggested she start a blog. A professor and social worker for years, Slater felt constrained in academia about how she could write and present herself. Slater’s first big transformation came about in 2014. The woman known to her hundreds of thousands of social media followers as the Accidental Icon recently moved from New York City to Peekskill, from a small apartment to a big old house, to a place where she plans to continue evolving and growing. The social worker and professor who became a fashion blogger and influencer at age 61 recently made another big change in her life.
