THE resurgence of 1990s supermodels Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer and a new TV model search for over-35s has put older models back in the spotlight.
New series She's Got The Look - screening on Saturdays on Foxtel's W Channel - has put older female models firmly in the spotlight. The contestant line-up includes a 63 year old.
W channel manager Penny Win said: "With the swell of interest in having older and real women on screen and in advertising campaigns, the timing seems right for a show such as She's Got The Look to celebrate both age and beauty."
Finesse Models director Brigette Mitchell said there was an appetite for older models in Adelaide, but that it was men who scored the most work.
But Finesse's Alison Pratt, 43, is bucking that trend, having modelled since she was 18. ". . . it's a good way to earn extra money," she said.
