You are never too old to be an icon.
Legendary photographer Albert Watson, along with industry hard hitters Stylist Brendan Cannon, Makeup Artist Romero Jennings, and Hair Stylist Linh Nguyen, translate the fashion iconography of the past into life for a new generation with the model whose career has spanned it all, Carmen Dell’Orefice, now the oldest “Vogue” cover girl ever at 91.
Inside, Carmen discusses her lifelong, storied, and still-going-strong seven-decade career with Marek Torčík. She discusses among other things photographers, storytelling, and why she believes modeling agencies should unionize.

The images inspire and are examples of fashion photography that rises above the temporal to become art, exuding a love of the creation of imagery with a language spoken across generations that never goes out of style.
Shot in New York City with Producer Anna La Germaine, Watson spins the inspiration from the past while making each image uniquely contemporarily stunning for today’s eye. Carmen’s poise and relationship with the camera transcend time as she poses in contemporary pieces by Schiaparelli, Ralph Rucci, Lever Couture, Rick Owens, Issey Miyake, Benchellal, Andrew Gn, Kokin, Jason Wu, and a custom-made piece by Verdavainne.
