‘In Celebration of Fashion for All Ages’ – an exclusive panel discussion

One thing I’ve learned from writing and editing That’s Not My Age for such a long time is how important it is to continue the conversation around ageing. Championing incredible people of all ages helps to chip away at ageist stereotypes and change attitudes. So, I am excited to announce that I’ll be hosting a panel discussion, on behalf of the Integrated Retirement Community Wallacea Living in Marylebone, on remaining stylish, confident and active throughout our lives; with special guests: Daphne Selfe, Jordan Trent and Sylvia Ezer.

Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s oldest female model, Daphne Selfe has appeared on the catwalk and worked with numerous fashion brands and glossy magazines. In a career spanning nearly 70 years, she has been photographed by the likes of Mario Testino and David Bailey and featured in British Vogue, the New York Times and more.

By comparison, Sylvia Ezer is a relative newcomer. Discovered last year on a shopping trip, the 88-year-old was subsequently signed up for White Stuff’s autumn/winter advertising campaign. The retired drama teacher and former actor is delighted to have found this new creative outlet.

Jordan Trent

Jordan Trent is a 58-year-old stylist and influencer. Her hugely popular Instagram feed, The Elegant Stylist focuses on how to develop your personal look and feel confident at any age. She encourages women over-50 to express themselves, dress vibrantly and not save anything for best.

These women epitomise the notion of ‘living the time of your later life’. They champion a shared philosophy, celebrating the sense of achievement and fulfilment that comes from embracing life’s adventures and opportunities. This is something that Wallacea Living is on a mission to encourage, there is a huge focus on community, social connection and staying active.

At this exclusive ‘In Celebration of Fashion for All Ages’ event, there will be afternoon tea by The Vintage Tea Company, and the opportunity to ask questions and have an informal chat at the end of the session.

We do hope you can join us.
