Veteran Models Walk for Fashion Show

Inès de la Fressange at 53 walks for Chanel Spring 2011

This season's triumphant return to the catwalk of iconic models sees fashion finally turn away from our obsession with youth. Such riotous applause was echoed elsewhere during Fashion Week. At Hermès, 48 year old Frech actress Farida Khelfa, clad in a matador's tuxedo. At Tom Ford's exclusive presentation in New York the fashion elite stared in wonder as women on the catwwalk like Daphne Guinness & Julianne Moore. " There is an intoxicating sense of womanly confidence to an older woman who has gained wisdom and an insight throughout her life," Rolan Mouret.
