Following in the footsteps of Dame Maggie Smith for Loewe’s SS24 collection and Charlotte Rampling for Massimo Dutti, mature model Annie Stirk has a tough pro-age message for fashion brands, while stylist Jackie Crawford has tips on how to wear what you want at any age. Stephanie Smith reports.
When 74-year-old Annie Stirk posted social media images of herself wearing edgy, contemporary clothes for a fashion photoshoot in central London, the reaction from friends, followers and complete strangers was uplifting. Annie, who lives near York, launched her modelling career in her late 60s.
” Angel Sinclair, CEO of Models of Diversity, a charity that campaigns for greater diversity in the media and on the catwalk, says: “For too long the fashion and beauty industries have ignored just how fashionable and stylish the generation of older consumers are and want to remain. Annie is setting new standards for diversity and inclusivity and we’re right there with her.” Annie’s step into modelling came after retiring at 67 from a diverse teaching, TV and media career.
