Macy's recently sponsored a modeling contest for women 50 years and older, and right now, the winners are gearing up to grace the runway on Saturday, Oct. 4.

The 15 winners range in age from 50 to 89 and were chosen from among 100 semi-finalists by a panel of local judges. The finalists were judged on a personal essay, stage presence, personal enthusiasm and confidence, and will receive a $100 Macy's gift card and flowers. Additionally, the winners will receive pointers from TCM, a professional modeling agency, as well as a makeover before the show.

Macy's invites you to watch the Better with Time model winners work the runway in the latest fall looks at a fashion show this saturday at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $40 plus tax and include a brunch, a $10 Macy's gift card for shopping afterwards and guest speakers from Ameriprise Financial, The Seattle Times and Wacoal.
