Why Schitt’s Creek’s Moira Rose is a lesson in style, dear – Sydney Morning Herald
Historically, TV has celebrated youth and relegated older women to frumpier roles. But the Emmy-winning sitcom’s matriarch sends a different message.
It feels very ‘now’ that a 60-something female character is such a style icon. Indeed. Historically, television has celebrated youth and relegated older women (and their wardrobes) to frumpier roles. But as far back as the ’80s, The Golden Girls and Dynasty put older women and their fashion choices in the spotlight, says University of Newcastle lecturer in film, media and cultural studies Jessica Ford.
