In recent years, significant strides have been made in racial and size diversity in the fashion industry. Through this visibility, marginalized individuals and bodies can be both normalized and respected. But, if you take a closer look, you’ll also find that aging is less likely to affect them.
In fashion, it looks like youth Everything. From youthful and ageless models to anti-aging cosmetic products, the industry seems age-phobic. In fact, for women over 40, it can feel like they’re forgotten, underrepresented, or limited to boring and boring choices.
By failing to portray mature adults as beautiful, fashionable or relatable, the fashion industry portrays them as not. It’s the same when brands fail to embrace more diverse runways, both in terms of size inclusivity and racial and ethnic diversity.
However, some brands are breaking the mold and having conversations about aging. In response, they’re featuring models over the age of 25, helping younger people develop a healthy understanding of aging. And we are here for it!
