Sophie Falkiner, 46, reveals she’s signed up to a mature modelling agency

She’s the glamorous television presenter known for shows including Wheel of Fortune and Luxury Escapes. 

And now Sophie Falkiner, 46, has revealed that she’s signed up with a mature modelling agency. 

On Friday, the blonde bombshell made an appearance on The Morning Show, to talk about her new role with Silverfox.

She explained to hosts Larry Edmur and Kylie Gillies that ‘age is just a number’ and that women can still be ‘stylish at any age’. 

‘The agency really celebrates diversity – the only prerequisite they have is that you have to be 30 years of age or older, and a lot of people in the agencies are up to the age of 80,’ she said. 

‘I would much prefer an uber-stylish woman in their sixties selling me a face cream, rather than a 16-year-old schoolgirl with no wrinkles.’ 

Her new role comes amid a rising demand for older models on our catwalks and in advertising. 

In 2018, Jane Seymour posed for Playboy at 67, and Jane Fonda modelled for Gucci this year at 82 years of age.

‘I’m just so glad there are agencies that are celebrating age, diversity, shape, and sizes,’ Sophie added. 

‘Because when you walk out the front door that is what you see, so it’s great to have those people being represented.’ 

The mother-of-two, has been in the modelling industry for close to 31 years.

She revealed that she loves working in the industry and will continue to ‘hustle until the day I die’.

But, the travel presenter has been enjoying spending more time with her husband Tony Thomas and children Isabella, 15, and Jack, 11, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. 

‘I was supposed to go to all sorts of fabulous countries this year and everything has been put on hold indefinitely,’ she said. 

‘I was just happy to come home and be with my family.’
