She’s 82 but she can still give any 20-year-old model a run for their money. Carmen Dell’Orefice, is featured in New You magazine’s spring issue, transforming simple glam with an all-black look, killer cheekbones and a fabulous wave of gray hair.
In the issue, the model discusses her 70-year long career (she started modeling when she was 13), and gives some perspective on today’s fashion world. “We’re all works of art in progress. I’m still figuring out how to do the job, and who I am [after 70 years]!”
After decades of seeing the ins and outs of the fashion industry, Dell’Orefice has a wisdom we all envy. In perfecting the art of modeling, she tells New You, “When you understand how to do that dance, when the photographer says, ‘Hold it, do it,’ and you know you’re getting it right. Oh, the fun. It is fun.”
Just one word to qualify the veteran supermodel – WOW.
