Embracing the [golden years](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever) of its star, Carol Alt, it has a [funky retro vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-navy-active). While the brunette beauty may have been in her prime during the '80s, a person wouldn't be out of their mind to think that she was still in the game. At 53-years-old, she could easily be mistaken for a woman in her 30s. Part of the 2014 Calendar Girl issue, the Galore Magazine Issue 5 cover shoot was captured by photographer Jacob Dekat. In the accompanying article, she makes some interesting observations about the [models of today](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models). On Kate Upton, for instance, she states, "I think Kate is a product of great media hype. Without Sports Illustrated, I’m not sure she would’ve made it in the industry as a high fashion model." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Fashion Revival:** Opportunity for clothing brands to capitalize on the nostalgia for 80s supermodel style and create modern interpretations. - **Ageless Beauty:** Potential for beauty brands to showcase and promote products that promote youthful appearance and cater to older demographics. - **Model Industry Evolution:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the modeling industry to challenge traditional beauty standards and promote diversity and inclusivity. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the trend of 80s supermodel editorials and create collections inspired by the retro aesthetic. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands can develop anti-aging products and marketing campaigns targeting an older demographic inspired by ageless supermodel images. - **Media:** Media outlets can explore new ways to challenge traditional beauty ideals and represent a wider range of models, embracing the evolution of the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Age-Celebrating Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becauseofmyage.md) - [Gen X Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-next-campaign.md) - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Celebratory Midlife Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Empowering Woman-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman.md)
