London Fashion Week features ageless runway

London Fashion Week has begun, and all eyes are focused on the All Walks Beyond The Catwalk show, filled with women of all ages, shapes and sizes.

Among them to take the runway is the oldest woman ever to model at London Fashion Week. Valerie Pain remains timeless at a fresh sixty-five, having been modeling since the 1960s.

Pain joins seven other women to showcase their clothes from new, emerging designers, specifically geared towards assisting the national eating disorders charity Beat.
