Despite her elderly age, Carmen Dell’Orefice, 91, is now a popular and in-demand model.
She had her first modeling gig at the age of 14. Carmen participated in picture 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 were 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 often criticized by her parents because her mother was a strict and occasionally rather harsh woman who did not like the way her daughter looked.
Carmen considered herself unattractive because she was the tallest and thinnest of her pals and didn’t get along well with men. The girl was able to attend boarding school for a few 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 was on the cover of Vogue.
The child almost cried when she viewed the photo because of how boyish the model’s hair appeared, and the model admitted that she did not like it. It’s true that when you look at the photos of this lovely woman, you can’t tell how old she is. She seems gorgeous. She continues to take part in fashion shows and commercial photo assignments, just like she did when she was younger.
