In a recent article in Vogue, a writer suggested that women past childbearing age should not wear certain clothes. However, Arianna Huffington sees the value in spotlighting elderly people, who are colorful and stylish, and not letting age be a limiting factor.
In this podcast, the speaker shares her opinion about why people put so much emphasis on having children, and how it’s not the only way to lead a fulfilling life by sharing experiences of childless individuals.
The speaker reports a conversation she had with a female artist who said that if she looks at the world today, she wouldn't have children now, implying a negative judgment about contemporary social conditions. The conversation also mentions a book about a man obsessed with older ladies that dress eccentrically, as well as the woman's thoughts on her priorities in life.
The fashion industry has a problem with ageism, and some people believe that certain styles are only acceptable for young people. However, there are elderly fashion icons breaking down these barriers and living their best lives.
