If you have worked as a model in the past or have always wanted to be a model but worry that your best years are behind you think again! These days mature models are more popular than ever as marketers wake up to the influence of ageing consumers. The grey rebellion is real as models over 60 years old are being taken seriously. Not only are there a wide range of catalogues and magazines aimed specifically at older people, but big brands and even exclusive fashion houses are opening up to the idea of using models of all ages.

Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process. Whichever camp you might reside in, there's no denying that as you get older your tastes and wardrobe needs change: for example, aged 33 I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven't stood up, so I'm endeavouring to buy less and buy better.

Earlier this week, year-old model Lauren Hutton was revealed as one of the stars of the new Calvin Klein lingerie campaign , having appeared on the runway for Italian fashion house Bottega Venetta in September. Amber Valletta, one of the original s supermodels, appears on the current cover of British Vogue — reassuringly without a coverline championing her 43 years.
