If you’re a fashionista from Detroit, you know the name Mark Keller. Keller owned an eponymous store in downtown Birmingham, a tony Motown suburb, and then a store in Linda Dresner’s atelier. (See my post “A Fashionable Ending” in 2021 about Dresner.)
Today, at age 75, Keller’s new store is Mattihidur X Mark Keller. I applaud Keller for starting a new venture as a senior citizen. Please read the article “Retail Royalty Strikes Again,” in Hour Detroit magazine written by Karen Buscemi. Click here for the scoop.
As a senior citizen myself, aging is on my mind. I recently heard Jane Fonda speak about the aging process. My friend, Debi Ernst, who was the chair of the recent Corewell event to support women’s heart health, taped the speech for me.
At age 86, Fonda, an actor, author, and activist, spoke candidly about her life comparing it to a play. Currently, she is in the the third act. Author Suzy Farbman linked to Fonda’s philosophy from the Detroit Free Press and then added her insightful reflection on aging on Read the Spirit here.
Keller posted this quote from Emily Dickinson on his Facebook page. “We turn not older with years, newer every day.”
So true.
