What is the world most afraid of? Time. Who is time most afraid of? Carmen Dell'Orefice. With silver hair, fine lines all over her face, charming eyes, and red lips that seem to be about to speak, you must have seen this face. There are two "Carmens" in the supermodel world, one is Carmen Kass, and the other is Carmen dell'orefice. But in terms of seniority, the latter is the ancestor. At 93 years old, having debuted for 78 years, Orefice is a big name in the fashion circle, and has also beaten "age" to the ground.—— Preface

Supermodel

by: International Art Panorama

White-haired supermodel grandma! Divorced 3 times and bankrupted 2 times in her life, she still has sex at the age of 90: If you love me, you have to live longer! In 2017, at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai, 86-year-old Carmen Dell'Orefice made her final appearance in a black dress. She is one of the oldest supermodels in the world and has debuted the longest. She has proved with her actions that a woman's beauty should not be limited by age.

She is the "darling" of Hermes and Dior.He has been divorced three times and bankrupt twice.Now 93 years old and still unmarried, he claims he still has a sex life."I'm always in love, I'm single right now, but I call myself the 'kiss of death', because every time I met a man I wanted to continue a relationship with, he died. AndI would also like to warn anyone who wants to date me, please stay alive!"

“No one can deny my beauty”

Carmen was born in New York, USA in 1931. The most noisy sound in the house every day was the quarrel between her parents. It was not until her father ran away from home that the family became quiet.

In the days when her father was gone, her mother went out to work, and Carmen supplemented the family income by collecting waste and sewing clothes. Because they could not afford the rent, they moved frequently, and Carmen changed schools 13 times. When she grew up and mentioned this memory again, Carmen just defended her parents:"It is poverty that makes them forget to love each other."

In order to realize her mother's dream, Carmen worked the hardest in the ballet company. But one year later, she had to give up ballet due to illness.“This is my first death”。Later, I tried to learn how to swim, but again due to physical reasons, I failed.

"Ears as big as doors and feet as big as coffins."In her mother's words, she is a complete ugly duckling.At the age of 13, the "ugly duckling" was spotted by a magazine photographer and took a group of photos for the magazine. But soon, she was rejected because she was "not photogenic".

Later, by chance, Carmen met the editor-in-chief of Vogue. The editor-in-chief was a straightforward person and asked directly: "Do you think you are beautiful?""No one can deny my beauty."Without a moment's hesitation, Carmen's confidence won the editor's admiration.

In 1946, Carmen was 15 years old and the ugly duckling transformed into a swan.She appeared on the cover of Vogue, becoming the youngest Vogue cover girl at the time. When the magazine came out, she cried, "I look like a boy, not a professional model."

This black history taught Carmen a lesson. From then on, she learned methods and skills to disguise herself as a "two-faced person": Model Carmen and Commoner Carmen. Model Carmen is glamorous and high-class; Commoner Carmen is like a fool and ordinary.

"If you want to love me, please live"

Unfortunate people spend their whole lives healing their childhood. Perhaps it is the regrets of childhood.Carmen has always longed for a "complete family".

At the age of 21, she got married, gave up her career and chose to return to her family. She trusted her husband and let him manage her assets, while she was responsible for the household chores.

However,All the love was betrayed.The husband she trusted cheated her into paying for horse racing, spent all her money, and forced her to have an abortion. Seeing the true face of the stinky man, Carmen "kicked" him out without hesitation.

She believes thatWhen you love, you should be unreserved. When you find it is not worth it, you should be decisive and leave no room for doubt.

Seven years later, Carmen fell in love again, with a photographer. This time she learned her lesson and stopped being a woman behind a man. She supported his career and helped him start a studio. However, the marriage only lasted for six months. The man was a big liar who dumped her after taking advantage of her.

After two failed marriages, Carmen lost confidence and thought, "I seem to be going downhill."In 1978, she made a comeback and returned to the modeling circle with white hair.The work helped her regain her confidence.

Later, Carmen met her third husband, an architect. However, after marriage, she found that he was a drug addict.Carmen is 47 years old and after many twists and turns, she is still alone.

In the 1980s, the financial crisis swept the world.Overnight, Carmen lost everything and declared bankruptcy.In order to make a living, she, who is already in her 50s, works even harder.

During this difficult time,She met someone who truly loved her, real estate tycoon Norman Levy.He helped her pay off her debts, created little romances for her, and loved her with all his heart. But he couldn't always be with her. In 2005, Norman died.At that time, 74-year-old Carmen became a person again.

A reporter once asked her, "Do you think love is important?" Carmen was silent for a while, then smiled and answered:"I won't get married again, but I won't give up on pursuing love either."She has been pursuing love all her life, sincerely and passionately.

“I just failed in investing”

In 2008, Carmen appeared on the covers of major newspapers again, not as a model, but as a victim of the Madoff scam.

It turned out that when Norman died, he left a legacy of 244 million US dollars (about 1.536 billion RMB) to Carmen. However, Carmen believed the lies of Madoff (Norman's godson) and invested the money and her own savings into his fund. After going through many ups and downs, facing the magazine interview, the 77-year-old Carmen still smiled:"I just failed in investment, but I'm not penniless. Among the things I still have, the most precious one can't be taken away by anyone."

Carmen remembered the nickname her mother gave her when she was a child: "Hey, idiot."Like a fool, she accepted all the hardships that life gave her.

Although she has always met scumbags and liars, she still claims thatI am lucky to have a lot of people around me.When talking about her broken family in her childhood, she just defended her parents: "My mother is very strict, but also very focused and hardworking. As for my father, I want to say that he showed up when I needed him."

It seems to be a habit formed in childhood.Despite losing a lot, she never asked for anything.When she was young, she worked in a photo studio during the day and went home at night to wash sheets and sew clothes with her mother to earn money.She said that she never pursued jewelry or clothes, and that it was enough for her to have enough food to eat and to be able to afford things that were important to her.

When she went to the catwalk, she would bring her own sewing machine and sew clothes for herself with cheap fabrics. She would also wear cheap $28 clothes to attend various events. A staff member who worked with her once described her:"Her smile was always warm and bright, and she set an example for young models with her neatness, modesty, punctuality and professional attitude."

At the age of 93, Carmen still maintains a self-disciplined life: getting up on time at 4 o'clock every day, exercising regularly, not smoking or drinking coffee. Although she was tortured by illness in her later years, she still signed an organ donation agreement."Whether it's skin or eyeballs, if they're useful, take them. If they're useless, throw them away."This sentence is very similar to her life, free and open-minded."I always tell women that looks are more about taste than money. Don't copy anyone and have the courage to express your own individuality."
