I ran across this ad from Lanvin Paris Fall 2012. The model is not really a model, but a retired dancer and she is 82 years old! The brand has chosen to use "real people" to showcase their Fall line. How fabulous! Granted, none of the "real people" look like the average US woman who is a size 14, but I must admit, it's a start. And while we're at it...I'd love to see a fashion editorial using real women, 60 years or older, who haven't had plastic surgery on every drooping part. I'll get off my soapbox now!
