Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) August 5, 2005 -- Just before turning 60, artist Roz Ritter was rummaging through an over-stuffed closet one Saturday when she came across a box of memorabilia from her late father's clothing business.
In the box was a stack of old newspaper clippings, and one yellowed page in particular caught her eye.
The ad was for a stylish linen suit and the caption read "If it wrinkles, it must be real."Never one to miss the irony in things, Roz thought the caption was oddly appropriate. She realized she was beginning the third act of her life- a little bit wrinkled, but definitely all real -- and just like that, Act III was born.ACT III is a refined clothing line designed exclusively for women dedicated to conscious and joyful aging in today's youth-obsessed culture.
Ritter believes in leading a healthy, active lifestyle with passion and self reflection.
She created the ACT III clothing line to reflect her philosophy that "natural...
