American Carmen Dell’Orefice, 92 years old, is the oldest model in the world. She entered the field since she was 13 years old, and is still working today. Carmen Dell’Orefice’s first contact with the world of fashion was when she met the wife of photographer Hermann Landshof while riding a bus to ballet class when she was just 13 years old. Dell’Orefice saw her experimental photos as useless because they were too meager, but she appeared on the cover of Vogue for the first time at the age of 15, after becoming a favorite model of photographer Erwin Blumenfeld. And again last year, Carmen Dell’Orefice appeared on the cover of Vogue. Czechoslovakia.
Carmen Dell said: “Men and women should take care of themselves, and one of the secrets of maintaining beauty is to do what you do for the child, take care of him and feed him. This is what we should do for ourselves, by caring for her and loving her, and giving her this kind of energy.”
