Modelling agencies were once an ancient form of perpetuating negative bay image and body dysmorphia, battling underage, too-thin girls like cattle into runway shows or photoshoots. They don’t really have a reputation for being body-positive – their rep lies is being ageist, and lowering the self esteem of women and girls globally.
In 2018, this outdate definition of a modelling agency is luckily turning around, and although plus size agencies around the world are proliferating at an exciting rate, this angry is doing something revolutionary to combat ageism in the industry.
If you’re in your twenties and thirties, this agency will turn you away. There’s already plenty catering to that age demographic. A company called Oldushka (they’re really not shy, with that name), only represents models age 45 and older. That range even goes up to 85, for some people!
While diversity is slowly making its way into the fashion industry, Oldushka is an agency that’s helping in that mission, along with eradicating ageism. We never understood why ageism was a thing. Every wrinkle carries beauty and wisdom – the older you are, the less foolish you are – old people are way cooler than the youths of the world, without a doubt.
