Christmas cheer and confident struts filled the room on Sunday 7 December as the Smart Club of Melbourne Inc. hosted its first-ever seniors’ fashion parade in the Cranbourne.
Only two months old, the club has quickly established itself as a vibrant social hub. Secretary Salma Maqbool, who adopted the idea, said the parade was designed to empower seniors and show that style, joy and self-expression have no age limit.
Members took to the catwalk in bright outfits, festive accessories and big smiles.
“This fashion parade is to promote positive aging, and to empower the seniors that they can still enjoy certain things that the youngsters are enjoying and to promote this perception of the idea,” Salma said.
“This is an idea for the other communities so that they can also start doing that to show that, look, the seniors can enjoy, which is still happening in certain clubs. They are doing the tap dancing for the seniors and other things.”
Smart Club of Melbourne Inc. wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
