Grey power: Senior models dazzle fashion industry

Editor's Note:

Youth is a beautiful thing that nearly all the people want to save when they inevitably step into the phase of middle age. Yet experience and wisdom, gained at the expense of youth, can let people shine from inside out. And that is the charm of senior citizens, who have walked the way young people are walking and tasted all the sweetness and sorrows in life that the youngsters will face.

Fashion industry, seemingly a circle often unfriendly to old people, has to surrender to a group of aged models. They sometimes can bring out the essence of a design in a more dashing style than youngsters.

As the traditional Chinese festival, Chongyang, which is marked to show respect to seniors, falls on Oct 17, it's time to take a look at the unique beauty of these old models.
