Description
A highly illustrated memoir on the figure of Carmen Dell'Orefice, the world's oldest working supermodel and actress
Carmen Dell'Orefice began her career at the tender age of fourteen when she appeared in Vogue. When she was fifteen, Salvador Dalí painted a portrait of her. Carmen has been a force in fashion ever since, working for the greatest photographers of all time, including Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Lilian Bassman, Norman Parkinson, and Francesco Scavullo.
Born in New York City on June 3, 1931, she was discovered by photographer Irving Penn, becoming a prominent figure in the fashion industry. Known for her striking beauty and timeless elegance, Carmen has graced the covers of major magazines, including Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. She is often regarded as one of the longest-serving models in fashion history, having worked continuously for more than 70 years.
Despite her age, Dell'Orefice has remained a symbol of grace and sophistication, challenging conventional notions of beauty in the modelling world. Throughout her career, she has represented brands, walked in runway shows, and remained an inspiration for many generations of models.

About the Author
Fadil Berisha, photographer and longtime collaborator of Carmen Dell'Orefice, will guide the reader through this testament to their creative collaboration, focusing on Carmen from her 60s to her 90s and their prolific professional collaborations. Fadil is the former official cameraman for Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Rolex, and in his career, he has captured some of the world's most breathtaking women and actresses, such as Halle Berry, and Sharon Stone, but none of them has ever beaten Carmen as his muse and model.
