We at Models Direct have talked about age diversity<\/a> in the modelling industry before \u2013 and while there does seem to be a positive improvement on this front, we still feel there is room for more range age wise.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re happy to see that a number of new fashion campaigns, including those from Marks & Spencer, Nivea and Clarks, feature mature models in their 40s and 50s rocking naturally grey hair.<\/p>\n

Caryn Franklin, co-founder of All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, recently commented on how age is represented in advertising: \u201cOur culture is fearful of ageing, and especially ageing women. I say, \u2018Stop apologising for getting older. Embrace it.\u2019 I have deliberately chosen women with grey hair for the award-winning initiative I co-founded,\u00a0All Walks Beyond the Catwalk. Two of our models have naturally grey\/white hair and women love them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want young women to see that beauty ages beautifully and there is no need to feel that getting older is something that has to be medicated, managed with surgery or be obsessed about,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

With all the current coverage on size diversity, it\u2019s easy to forget that issues surrounding age also have an impact.<\/p>\n

So we think it\u2019s great to see that the modelling industry<\/a> is beginning to take the appreciation of all ages seriously, as well as differing sizes, shapes and ethnicities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
