The hips may get hippier, the belly may get rounder and the derrière may drop. But as women age, they often gain in wisdom and confidence what they might have lost in tone.
So for every woman past 50, say, who laments that fashion has left her behind, there are many who, with good grace, have found the means to stay stylish.
Their daughters borrow from their closets, and no, they don’t want to dress like the younger generation, even if the body still holds.
To mark Mother’s Day, we invited two women of great personal style to The Gazette’s studio for a styling and photo session. Katia Lepage, 45, a former model who started a styling business three years ago, consulted with the women, then shopped to dress them in a way that would suit their bodies and personalities.
