Despite her advanced age, Carmen Dell’Orefice, 91, is currently a popular and in-demand model.
She had her first modeling experience at the age of 14. Carmen participated in photo shoots for Vogue. The majority of photographers were then won over by her beauty.
Our protagonist was brought up by a dancer and a musician. They were destitute. When her parents got divorced, the young girl moved in with her mother. Because she wanted her to become a dancer, her mother enrolled her in ballet.
The child was constantly criticized by her parents because her mother was a strict and occasionally quite nasty woman who did not like the way her daughter looked. Carmen considered herself unattractive because she was the tallest and thinnest of her friends and didn’t get along well with men.
The girl was able to attend boarding school for several months due to the severe lack of financial resources. She had always wanted to dance, but her rheumatism prevented her from doing so.
Carmen nevertheless made great strides; she began modeling at the age of 14. In 1947, a picture of her graced the cover of Vogue.
The girl almost cried when she saw the photo because of how boyish the model’s hair appeared, and the model admitted that she did not like it.
The famous person grew up in a difficult environment. There weren’t many creature comforts for her or her mother, and money was never enough. They were compelled to pawn a sewing machine to pay for the apartment. To pay the energy bill, they had to raise money all month long. The woman’s experience-related baggage has given her a true appreciation for both money and life.
In 1963, the model decided to retire.
When Carmen first met Norman Parkinson in 1978, he assisted her in re-entering the fashion business. The model accepted the offer as her daughter was already an adult and her marriage was over.
Women frequently make an effort to hide aging-related physical changes. Carmen, on the other hand, bleached her hair instead of coloring or aging it, emphasizing a silvery tone. By 1987, the lady was popular and in demand once more.
By the way, Carmen wrote a book about her experiences called »Staying Beautiful: Beauty Secrets and Attitudes from My Forty Years As a Model«.
It’s true that when you look at the photos of this incredible woman, you can’t tell how old she is. She seems gorgeous. She continues to take part in fashion shows and commercial photo shoots, just like she did when she was younger.
