Age is just a number for China's senior catwalk models

SHANGHAI - Wearing a bright floral ensemble and short hair dyed blonde, Chinese model Ma Yinhong struts a Shanghai catwalk with a style and swagger that belie her 56 years.

She made her modeling debut just two years ago and is already working for leading fashion brands.

Ma is one of a growing number of older models sought after by Chinese and international labels trying to court the country's growing faction of "silver spenders".
