Carmen Dell’Orefice was born in June 3rd 1931 in New York city. She is today 82 years old and she is worldwide known as the oldest top model still working. She was on the cover of Vogue at the age of 15. At that time she had her first contract for $7.50 an hour.
At the age of 50, after a bad marriage, she was obliged to get back to modeling for financial reasons. And she has been modeling since then.
Nowadays, she is still the muse of many photographers, creators and Brands. Here is a 2009 campaign for Rolex on the topic “Class is Forever”. A very sophisticated campaign in which Carmen Dell’Orefice is highlighted with the Rolex watches. Very edgy campaign.
