Fighting Ageism

WITH AGE comes wisdom, which is what has given Christie Brinkley the strength to speak up about the discrimination women face as they get older. “I’m here to say people of every age want to be represented,” says the model , 63. “We are still made to feel we are invisible in some ways.” Christie proved older women are “vibrant and comfortable in their own skin” when she recently posed for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue with daughters Alexa, 31, and Sailor, 18.

She’s thrilled to join Gap’s latest video campaign, Bridging the Gap, which celebrates individuality.
