Let's talk about Fashion’s Ageism

Variety is what keeps fashion exciting, but when it comes to model selection, there is often very little of it to go around. Diversity in terms of race, gender, and size has all served as important talking points of late, but progress has been slowgoing. Which isn’t even to mention the most ignored—and obvious—of all: age. This season, the push toward inclusiveness resulted in several shows, magazines and campaigns that featured women of color and varying body shapes, but models of a certain age (namely, past their early 20s) were largely excluded from the discussion—and the media, why, scarcity of older models?

So until the industry has included women of any walks of life - Be Your Own Muse. There are many folks out there telling us what to wear as we age—what to wear, what not to wear, how to look and what to cover up. I am as young or old as I feel, and the number isn’t important. My style is independent of my age. Real style is never right or wrong. It’s a matter being your self. Greeningline feature beautiful, vibrant women, living their best life, embracing the world and staying curious on the way.
