One of the most talked-about models of the year is Jacky O’Shaughnessey, the 62-year old face of American Apparel. Jacky only began modeling in 2011, when she was discovered in a NYC restaurant by AA’s creative director. Cindy Joseph, one of the most successful older models working today said “When society sees beautiful, happy, healthy women being represented, it changes the perspective on what aging really is. You can be full of vitality, passion and adventure at any age!”
It’s great news that the fashion and beauty world is embracing more diversity. Thanks to models such as Beverly Johnson, Cheryl Tiegs & the legendary Carmen Deli’Orefice, mature faces are taking the fashion industry by storm. We think it’s about time!
