# Graceful Minimalist Editorials The Vs. Magazine Spring-Summer 2014 Issue Stars Christy Turlington By Meghan Young | Published 2014-02-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vs-magazine-springsummer-2014 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/christy-turlington-photo-shoot-vs-magazine-karen-collins/) & [vsmagazinelive](http://www.vsmagazinelive.com/) Supermodel Christy Turlington may be 45 years old, but she might as well be a new recruit to the National School of Ballet in the Vs. Magazine Spring-Summer 2014 editorial. Posing gracefully in dancer-worthy outfits, it looks like she has aged a day since the height of her modelling career. It is no surprise that designers, photographers and fashion editors are flocking to older models including [Claudia Schiffer](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-edit-super-sexy) and a more lesser known [Jacky O’Shaughnessy](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-apparel-model) to show women that getting older doesn't have to be a bad thing. The Vs. Magazine Spring-Summer 2014 editorial was shot in studio by photographer Karen Collins of [Creative Exchange Agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-cream-in-a-tube). The brunette beauty was styled by Laura Ferriera in body-conscious looks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Age-inclusive Modeling:** The rise of older models in the fashion industry presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers, photographers, and fashion editors to showcase the beauty of aging. - **Graceful Fashion:** The Vs.
