Lyn Slater is a cultural influencer, model, writer, content creator and former professor. She started Accidental Icon in September of 2014 and has since garnered a loyal fan base of almost a million followers across platforms.

Previously, Slater was a professor of social work at Fordham University. In September 2014, she launched her blog, "Accidental Icon", which has since attracted a robust following of almost a million across various platforms. Slater's influence extends beyond the academic sphere into the realm of fashion and popular culture, as evidenced by her considerable Instagram following of over 250,000.

Through "Accidental Icon", Slater champions the notion of comfort with oneself, dismissing age as a determinant in fashion. Her unique perspective on style, coupled with her urban, modern, intellectual aesthetic, appeals to a demographic of individuals leading "interesting but ordinary lives" in cities. Her blog's success is testament to her ability to connect with and inspire her audience.

In addition to her blogging activities, Slater has made her mark as an author with the release of her book "How to Be Old". Complementing her written work, she has also shared her insights on aging and style in a public forum, delivering a TEDxMidAtlantic talk titled "How I became an accidental fashion icon at 64". T
