Designer Simon Rocha's show at the London Fashion Week was special in more ways than one.

Along with the usual teen models, a group of models over the age of 50 made heads turn.

The idea was to promote the idea that age is just a number and to defy the notion that models are not 'visible' to designers after the age of 30.

Leading the ramp was Benedetta Barzini, 73, a former Italian model and actor.

The mother of four made an immediate first impression as she returned to the ramp like a pro.

"Jumper is from @filippa_k, a Swedish brand committed to four Rs: reducing, repairing, reusing and recycling. Shoes are @goodguysdontwearleather. The brand doesn't use any animal products in its collections. Fashion info verified by @ecoage #ecoloves."
