When was the last time you saw an older model? We tend to think that a model’s career stops after a certain age, as it has sometimes started as early as 15.
This culture has also shaped our own views as to what age we can be involved in fashion. Fortunately, Arlinda McIntosh is a woman who did not deal with such stereotypes and carved her own path in the fashion world.
Arlinda McIntosh’s style will make you love colour in clothes again.
Although in recent years they have been identified with minimalism in fashion, Arlinda does not seem to follow these dictates to the letter. One scroll through her profile is enough to tell you that she’s wearing her clothes and they’re not wearing her. This led her to create her own clothing line called Sofistafunk. Today she has more than 10 thousand followers on her personal Instagram, more than 20 thousand on her professional one, and has dressed some of the biggest names in fashion.

She believes that we should wear the clothes that make us feel good, not the clothes that are trendy.
When her husband left home in the late 1980s, she needed a new job. Until then she was working as a secretary in a telecommunications company.
But with her salary from there she knew she would not be able to raise her three children alone. So she started making and selling her own clothes as a hobby.
This, of course, later became her main profession.
Today she identifies herself as an Instagram influencer who has managed to inspire many women.
