Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

The author of My Fashion Life points us to an article at EntertainmentWise and asks:

"Is Madonna too old to be the face of H&M?"

I would have to say, no, she is not too old.  Madonna symbolizes the coming out of older women and sends the message that "Yes, I can be old and still be stylish and hot, thank you!" 

I feel that age is a state of mind anyways. If you look good in something and it flatters your body, who cares where you bought it?  I've never shopped in H&M, but I've seen some of their clothing.  I think that forty-something's can still get by wearing clothes from H&M, so why not have someone like Madonna represent?  And who doesn't know Madonna?  I think that twenty-year-olds can still relate to her.  The lady is a legend in her own right.  

However, if you've been reading this blog for some time now, you'll know how I feel about actresses being models.  Why not get a forty something model-model to do the shoot?  I find it interesting that in this industry you're considered "too old" after you reach the age of 30.
