Over the Back Fence

Kate Bell: Talking the Walk - Modelling with Voice, Purpose & Overcoming Ageism


Listen Later

This week Nicola and Di chat with the stunning and soulful Kate Bell. Kate is an international model, writer and yoga teacher, who is passionate about using her voice to challenge outdated ideas in fashion and beyond. Kate has been modelling for 4 decades and has worked for so many incredible designers and iconic brands, appearing in fashion shoots and runway shows all over the world. Now at 57, Kate is speaking out against ageism and advocating for change.

In this conversation we hear how Kate got started in modelling, and by the time she was 19, was living in New York and flying all over the world. Kate shares some of the most juicy stories from her early modelling days, which you won’t want to miss. 

Kate talks about the 2 different worlds and lives she was living - there was the model Kate and the yogi Kate, and she describes the full circle moment, later in her career when she was hired by an activewear brand as a yoga teacher and her two worlds integrated in the most beautiful way. 

Kate also opens up about the ways she has experienced ageism in her career and how ageism really is the last ‘ism’ that needs to be kicked out of the room! We couldn’t agree more. 

It was so lovely speaking to Kate. She is graceful, grounded and full of insight and we were so grateful to have this conversation with her in the studio. We hope you love it too.
