A Wrinkle in Time: On Beauty and Aging

If there is one thing every human shares, it’s the inevitability of aging. Yet in a society that places such a high premium on youth, people over 50 are often dismissed from conversations around beauty, considered consumerist has-beens for fashion, culture, and pretty much every product excluding pharmaceuticals. Enter a new crowd of the unabashedly aging, demanding to be seen - wrinkles and all. What might happen if we embrace, rather than resist, the inevitability of aging? In a culture overrun by constant “youthquakes,” can we change the way we perceive, resist, and fear aging? This conversation was part of the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival. Speakers: Jessica Cruel, Editor in Chief, Allure, Condé Nast, Paulina Porizkova, Model; Actor; Author, No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful, Christie Brinkley, Model; Entrepreneur; Actress
