The Age of Reason

I am currently in Paris soaking up all that this magnificent city has on offer. Paris truly has it all; from decadently rich food, to jaw-dropping fashion, not to mention the most picturesque boulevards and city landmarks. Today, as I took some time out to devour a box of Pierre Hermé macaroons whilst perusing the latest issue of Paris Vogue, I found further inspiration in an editorial shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin showcasing five of modelling's true muses. Models Lauren Hutton, Tatjana Patitiz, Stephanie Seymour and newcomer Loulou Robert don biker style leather jackets paired with simple white shirts and blue denim jeans for the editorial entitled "Beauty has no Age." Of all the modelling trends to emerge in recent times, it is the fashion industry's current fascination with models in their 30s, 40's and beyond, that I am loving the most. Former supers Yasmin Le Bon, Tatjana Patitz, Eva Herzigova, Estelle LeFebure, Linda Evangelista, Erin O'Connor, Kristen MacMenamy and Stephanie Seymour have appeared in a spate of editorials for the likes if Paris Vogue, i-D, W Magazine, the Gentlewoman, Corduroy, V, and Antidote, proving that age, character lines and life experience could well be this season's most desirable commodities.
