My Take
Carmen Dell'Orefice fascinates me more than almost any model I can think of. A Vogue cover at fifteen would be a career for most people, but she turned it into a lifetime, becoming the world's oldest working model and never apologizing for the passing decades. To me her real achievement isn't longevity itself but the way she let her silver hair and lined face become the point rather than the problem. She redefined what a fashion image could carry. She makes the industry's obsession with youth look small, and I find that quietly radical.
