A 74-year-old model defies ageism – has a fitting response to critics

At 74 years old, Colleen Heidemann continues to inspire millions by proving that style and confidence know no age. The former flight attendant turned model began her fashion journey at 68 and has since graced the cover of Vogue Portugal, earning praise for her vibrant presence and empowering message.
