About the author
Lyn Slater is a cultural influencer, model, writer, content creator and former professor. She has a Ph.D. In Social Welfare and has been a social worker for 45 years. She started her blog, Accidental Icon, in September 2014 because she could not find a fashion blog or magazine that offered an urban, modern, intellectual aesthetic and also spoke to people who live "interesting but ordinary lives." Since then, Lyn has reinvented herself as an influencer of popular culture and promotes the use of fashion as a window into society and a vehicle to make personal and social change. Her rejection of age as a variable to be considered in how one dresses, lives and represents oneself has garnered her a loyal fan base of all ages. Her Instagram has 759K followers, her Facebook community includes 222.7K members and her blog 35K subscribers.
