A Fashion Show that Rejuvenates its models?
It’s been said that art imitates life, but filmmaker and artist Malik Afegbua envisions a more beautiful life and generates it with his camera and artificial intelligence.
The images in this story are stunning and magnificent, but his vision is truly heart-centered and life-affirming. Through his lens he creates a different narrative about older people, portraying them as powerful, hip, and stylish enough to light up a fashion runway. No matter how old or young you may be, Fashion Show for Seniors will rejuvenate anyone’s heart. Check it out here.

Putting aside the controversies around the use of AI, I appreciate the depiction of seniors as stylish, attractive, and a demographic to be appreciated.
It's simply wrong that western societies dismiss seniors and put them in the box of irrelevance and invisibility.
It's interesting that the article points out that while real seniors could be used for a fashion show it really hasn't been done. Maybe that will change now.
