LARA New York is reminding women that they are a timeless masterpiece, evolving with grace, with their Mother of the Bride collection. Redefining the runway at La Galerie Bourbon during Paris Fashion Week, Lara New York showcased models from the Chinese Golden Model Search. The Golden Age models were placed at the forefront, dominating the majority of the lineup alongside professional models.
Making a triumphant return to the Paris runway, models aged 40 and above commanded the spotlight once again—exuding elegance, self-assurance, and setting a daring benchmark for age-inclusive style. Their powerful presence underscored a timeless truth: fashion knows no boundaries of age, culture, or convention.
Blending Eastern heritage and contemporary Western influences, LARA New York’s Mother of the Bride collection showcased shimmering beaded gowns with delicate pearl embellishments, and sweeping trains with soft, feminine palettes. Each look celebrated timeless beauty, blending heritage with modern glamour in a way that resonated across generations.
This groundbreaking evening followed a live broadcast collaboration on September 26 with Lazio National Television in Rome, Dialogue on Chinese Italian Clothing, a cross-cultural fashion program connecting audiences across Europe and reinforcing fashion as a bridge between civilizations.
Since March 2025, the Golden Age supermodel initiative has sparked the viral #ChineseGoldenStyle trend and stands as the first global platform to integrate middle-aged and senior Chinese models into the international fashion circuit. Backed by the Golden Age Health Culture and Art Awards, the All China Federation of Trade Unions, and the China Aging Development Foundation, the project underscores China’s cultural industry taking center stage on the world fashion scene.
The LARA New York runway proved that elegance has no age, and that cultural heritage can be modern, bold, and aspirational. With this historic showcase, the brand and its Golden Age supermodels have set a new benchmark for high fashion that celebrates inclusivity, artistry, and enduring style.
