In a world where fashion is fixated on youth and older people are marginalised, a group of older women from Kyrgyzstan is challenging stereotypes and redefining beauty.
Meet the stars of a recent fashion show that took place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where women showcased that they are #OlderNotOver. They became part of the worldwide campaign that champions a fuller, more authentic portrayal of what life really looks like after 60.
Ranging from 60 to 80 years old, the women walked the runway for the first time. The fashion show wasn’t just about wearing stylish outfits, it was a statement — a declaration of their beauty and strength. Outfits ranging from flowing dresses to tailored suits not only reflected their unique style but also empowered them with a sense of liberation.
Each woman brought her unique story and perspective to the runway, highlighting the diversity of experiences among older women in today’s world. From leading self-help groups to embarking on adventurous travels, these women are rewriting the narrative of what it means to grow older.
Take a moment to admire them and hear what they have to say.
