Meet the model: Jan
What's your age? 67
What's your occupation? Blogger and social media marketer
What did you want to be when you grew up? A physiotherapist or a ballerina
What would we find most of in your wardrobe? Classic smart casual pieces
Sequins or leopard? I don't have a lot of either, but I do have touches of both. Probably leopard on balance.
Handbags or shoes? Shoes!
Earrings or arm candy? Earrings, things on my arms annoy me.
Sex and the city or Seinfeld? I'm showing my age here, but neither. Although I do loathe Seinfeld, and Sex and the City has great fashion, so that would be my choice.
Michael Jackson or Daryl Braithwaite? Daryl Braithwaite
Pretty Woman or Top Gun? Pretty Woman
Bubbles or cocktails? Cocktails
What's your favourite thing about SYTL?
That the clothes are Australian made, and that pieces fit together to form a flexible capsule. And of course the diversity represented by the models used :-)
Why is diverse representation in fashion important to you?
I get so annoyed that older women seem to be invisible in the fashion industry and that indeed many older women feel invisible. It is a ridiculous situation when older Australian women have money to spend, but are expected to buy clothes which are modelled by size 8 teenagers. If you want our money, show us your clothes on our peers.
What are your three favourite SYTL pieces?
The Danielle Dress, The Alex Cami, The Alexa Relaxed Tee.
