Reaching retirement age is no reason for relinquishing one's sense of style, a Tokyo-based fashion expert advises her older female clients.
"Women have beautiful features even when they get old, but most lose confidence as they age," Sachiko Kawabe said. "I want them to have the courage to enjoy their lives."
Since last November, Kawabe, 77, has offered wardrobe advice, including on undergarments, to women in their 60s to 70s at Tokyo department stores in collaboration with Wacoal Corp., a major Japanese maker of women's underwear.
