Carmen Dell’Orefice

Carmen is an American supermodel and actress. She is known within the fashion industry for being the world's oldest working model as of the Spring/Summer 2012 season. She was on the cover of Vogue magazine at the age of 15 and has been modeling ever since, and has featured in films and television programs Her daily motto is to enjoy herself, at no-one else's expense.

At the age of 13, while riding a bus to ballet class, she was approached to model by the wife of photographer Herman Landschoff. Her test photos, taken at Jones Beach, were a "flop" according to Dell'Orefice.

In 1946, her godfather introduced her to Vogue and the 15-year-old signed a modeling contract for $7.50 an hour. She became a favorite model of photographer Erwin Blumenfeld who shot her first Vogue cover in 1946. She appears in the December 15, 1946 issue of US Vogue; New York Vol.

Dell'Orefice and her mother struggled financially, and her modeling income was not enough to sustain the family. With no telephone, Vogue had to send runners to their apartment to let Dell'Orefice know about modeling jobs.

She joined the Ford Modelling Agency in 1953.

In need of funds, Dell'Orefice returned to modeling in 1978. In 1984 she appeared on the cover of Quarante, a newsstand quarterly publication.

Since her return to the industry, Dell'Orefice has appeared in campaigns for Missoni, shot by Giampaolo Sgura; Sephora, shot by Mikael Jansson and so many more campaigns to this day.

She is a famous idol that people look up to as she is a guidance and inspiration for the most of us.

“OLD” MUSES ARE NOT “UNSHIPPABLE”.

You can still find love at 35, 50, 75, and beyond.

The RPC tends to neglect muses over 35 and resources for more mature FCs.

Life doesn’t end after your 20s. It’s not too late to find love.

Older muses and faceclaims deserve love and appreciation too!
