An 80-year-old woman has had her dream after 69 years of waiting to become a model, as the Daily Mail reports.

The newspaper added that the House of Hewitt crowned its eightieth anniversary of a new career, where she did not prevent her age from becoming a model.

Hawit dreamed of becoming a model since she was 12 years old in 1950, but worked as a teacher after graduating from college.

Hewitt, who retired from her job 10 years ago, signed a contract with MOT Models for the design and fashion show in London.

The number of fashion models over the age of 50 has risen during the fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris last week, increasing from only 5 in the spring of 2016 to 27 in the spring of 2018.
