At 60, Vicsland Poh is not just ageing – she is polishing a second act that challenges every cliché of the silver years.

Known to her TikTok followers as the “Corridor Runway Aunty”, Poh has transformed the communal space outside her Singapore flat into a high-fashion stage. The depth of her story, however, lies beyond the camera lens.

By taking up diverse physical challenges and pursuing new knowledge, she proves that a person’s seventh decade can be one of expansion.

The posts on her Instagram account @skeletalwombat (she fell in love with wombats during a trip to Australia, while “skeletal” reflects that she is thin) could easily be mistaken for outtakes from a fashion editorial or behind-the-scenes stills from a campaign shoot. It is clear that Poh loves strutting her stuff for her followers – but she does not consider herself an influencer.

“I just enjoy dressing up. Even in my younger days, I liked experimenting with clothes to channel different vibes and moods,” she says.

“I wanted to remember those outfits and how I felt wearing them, so I’d take photos or videos before going out and post them on Instagram. Over time, my account evolved into a digital journal of all my different looks.”
