Hestia, the Stylish Matriarch, Reins in Quality Fabric and Finish DetailsHer story. Hestia, the goddess of hearth and home, may well be the most challenging of the fashion archetypes for older women to dress fashionably.
According to Jean Bolen (Goddesses in Older Women), this is the only goddess for whom the Greeks had no image. She was embodied by the hearth fire itself. When a couple wed, the matriarch of the bride’s home carried a torch lit from the hearth to light that in the newlyweds’ home. Fashion archetype: This feminine archetype wants comfort, and she is comfortable looking like exactly what she is – an older woman. Better fabrics that drape attractively are ideal for the woman who wears the title of matriarch with pride. Embroidery, tucks, and other fine finishes are an ideal way to create a wardrobe that is simultaneously classy and down-to-earth.
