“If I Don’t Try, I’ll Never Know”: Woman Becomes A Model At 68, Smashes Age And Beauty Stereotypes

Day by day, we all are getting older. So we change our life patterns according to the stage of our age. When we follow a fashion trend, it depends on a few criteria. To create a beautiful outfit, your body shape is a crucial factor. Does that mean someone of older age cannot follow a beauty trend??

BY proving that age isn’t a barrier to fashion trends, Rosa Saito, a seventy-one-year-old lady, rocked the fashion industry by being a model at the age of sixty-eight. As we can imagine, she went through all the stereotype problems when she entered this industry.

“The beauty itself is in really taking care of your thoughts, your spirituality. The person can become beautiful, captivating, friendly; this is much more than the beauty all stretched and perfect. It’s the content that counts, in my opinion,” Rosa explained.

What are your thoughts? Isn’t she beautiful?
