First Supermodel Walks Runway
71 year-old Veruschka proves beauty is ageless.

The time when teenage, waif-thin models ruled the fashion scene may be over.

That was the sign when 71 year-old supermodel Veruschka walked the runway at Giles Deacon's fantastic Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show during London Fashion Week (Bing: See photos of Veruschka's best modeling years)

Wearing a feather boa headdress and long, bow-print gown, the 1960s icon, considered the world's first supermodel, staged the finale—proving everyone can look fabulous at every age.

Deacon's brightly-colored show featured other star models too—and they weren't rail-thin like typical fashion shows.

The cast included bikini-clad Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, sporting a short disco dress, and Kelly Brook, flaunting her voluptuous figure in a low-cut printed dress. Coco Rocha, who has taken a strong stance against too-skinny models, also made an appearance, wearing a stunning long brown floor-length dress.

Senior Models Walk London Fashion Week, Madrid Runways

Spanish designer Juan Duyos seemed to be more inspired by "Golden Girls" than "Gossip Girl" when he cast four models in their 60s to strut his styles down his Madrid Fashion Week catwalk earlier this week.

"I am fed up with seeing 20-year-old models advertise anti-wrinkle creams for women aged 60," he tells London's Metro. "Beauty does not end at 40 or 50."

Duyos, who also describes elderly women as being "just as beautiful as 20-year-olds," used Spanish socialite Eloisa Bercero as one of his models, according to Metro.

"I am moved," she tells the commuter paper. "They have made me feel very important."

And Duyos isn't the only designer to look to seniors as models recently.

British designer Giles Deacon sent 71-year-old legendary German model Veruschka down his runway at London Fashion Week on Sept. 20.
