Resumo: Seldom studied in the academic world, the pair Fashion and Old age is the central topic of this essay. Daily contacts with fashion in addition to a real interest in the place of old age in the world of fashion were the main motives for this research. Historical, social and cultural references to fashion, whether available in printed material or found through on-line searches, were decisive to carry out this essay. The concealment of old age, so typical of our model of society, unfolds in the always modest areas dedicated to elderly people s clothes and fabrics and in the lack of concern with old age or ageing among those who militate in the field of fashion. Elaborated in order to put the topic in context and to foment a progressive approach to research and field work, this essay studies the aspects related to ageing process and old age. At the same time, it examines some facets of the history of fashion, broadening its scope beyond nacional level. The structured interview method was used in our field research. Five survey respondents were selected among people directly or indirectly related to fashion. The answers reveal a certain idealization of old age as well as its denial, this denial meaning that old age does not exist or that it cannot be consciously accepted
