Miuccia Prada, the "left-wing, feminist" designer with a reputation for being brave and outspoken, spoke in a recent interview about discrimination against older models in the fashion industry. "I'm not brave enough to use older models," admitted the 64-year-old designer, who is also personally affected by the matter.

“The obsession of the era is youth. Nobody wants to deal with age, I think we should find a solution. Especially because we live a long time. Aging is something that needs to be cured. Ours is not an artistic world, but rather a business world, the rules of which I cannot change. I'm just not brave enough. But it's not about courage…" - washes his hands of the influential designer, who still refuses to send "old ladies" to his catwalk.

Miuccia Prada's interview with T Magazine surprised the fashion world, as more and more companies apart from leading luxury brands are using older models for their campaigns, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Most recently, Karen Walker advertised her sunglasses with models aged 65 to 92, and Lanvin sold snakeskin bags with 82-year-old Jacquie "Tajah" Murdock. 81-year-old Carmen Dell'Orefice, who also appeared in the Rolex campaign, was sent by Alberta Ferretti on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week, and American Apparel photographed the gray-haired Jacky O'Shaughnessy with her legs spread for its advertisement.
