New fashion trend: older women still can be fashionable and stylish and amazing!



Fashion’s world has been too young for too long, it seems, that the industry has started to pay attention to some new faces.
Hipster high-street label American Apparel usually causes a stir because its models look too young and wear too little, but earlier this year an entire campaign “advanced basics” for the brand was fronted by a grey-haired model of 60 called Jacky O'Shaughnessy. "


Not only on campaigns, older faces are showing more and more on Magazines, Runways, and Street style. In general, fashion world has decided to give us more good examples than just pretty faces.

Turing 50 for women can be a scary and dreadful period. But in todays world turing 50 is actually an age where women embrace life, love, maturity and experiences. While Researching the concerns over appearance maintains with age I stumbled upon an article exploring subjects such as Make Tips for a more youthful look.



Make -up tips: 

When turing 50 our skin texture changes that is why it is important for us the change our products to compliment our skin. 
These are some of the make-up tips the article recommended. 

1. Don't use shimmer makeup. It draws attention towards your
fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Never apply matte products since they look pasty
and dry.

3. When wearing lip liner, apply it on your lips and
not outside your natural lip line.

4. Use mascara and liner on your upper lashes only

5. Only use foundation where really needed and to
hide red spots. Under your eyes, use a light
concealer and mix with moisturizer.

Marketing is a main issue for the lingerie industry in Arabic. The campaign has to be adaptive, creative and promotional that would not conflict with the religion. 
Change, a lingerie company created an entire campaign to launch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia that would cover the female form by the methods of using digital to ‘black-out’ the revealing parts of a woman’s body, revealing only the head, the hands and the lingerie clothing. Unfortunately, Change’s lingerie campaign never debuted due to the fact that it created awkward and mixed emotions from men within the region. 


As the article mentioned, residents in Duke University Medical Center, who boast medical degrees, they work longer hours and spend more time with patients than do veteran physicians. Why should residents wear a coat that causes some patients to mistake them for students or nurses? In my personal experience, residents seem to be nicer. They will talk to you to make you feel less nervous about your conditions, and they care more. 

It’s all about the Coat!!


Dr. Ukdo discusses how, “it is natural for medical students to feel long white coat envy”. The article was a short interview of how graduates look forward to be fully recognized not only among their fellow classmates but also among their colleagues. In the article the student mentions, “It’s a huge sign of accomplishment to shed from the short coat and don the long one”.  The long coat has become a status symbol of achievement. 

The short also resembles many things one of the things is that it resembles you’re a medical student anyone can know this by a glance in the hall the attire says it all. However the article explains how they feel according to the article student or medical students feel inferior because they have no decision power. “But, I would be lying to say that the short white coat syndrome doesn’t ever creep up into my psyche. It makes itself known during the first day of a new rotation, during periods of humbleness or humiliation, or when a patient refuses to let me participate in their care. It’s a reminder of where I am and where I am going, but it would be impossible to get there without it. Don’t get me wrong, I am proud to wear it every day, but I won’t be sad when I am able to trade it in for an upgraded model”(DRUKDO. 2011).

The White Coat Ceremony

The White Coat Ceremony is a common tradition in most medial and physician schools.   The recent celebration began at Columbia University’s college of physicians and surgeons(White Coat Ceremony pg.1 ). In my opinion the process of receiving a white coat after an grueling and  intense text and lecture training  and moving on to more of a performance and physical clinical training is a sense of great accomplishment and Joy for med students. 



The image above you can see that the white coats given to students in this ceremony are shorter hip length coats, this is because they are still in training. The longer the coats the higher the prestige and experience of the individual.
