I see women like Judith and JoAni as aspirational &#8212; I think everyone should open their eyes to expanded concepts about beauty. I believed that back in 2013, when rich and powerful Miuccia Prada, of all people, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/prada-my-design-process-and-runway-bravery\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claimed she wasn&#8217;t &#8220;brave enough&#8221; to put older women on her runway<\/a>.
