Carmen Dell'Orefice, "the world's oldest working model" who turned 80 just this year.
With Vogue covers in her past and runways still in her present, Carmen seems to have it all -- but we didn't realize until this recent Telegraph interview that the fashionable octogenarian has actually lost quite a great deal.. to Bernie Madoff.
In an extended conversation touching on her life's major moments, Dell'Orefice talks about ageing ("if you're over a certain age, you better keep your bra on because nothing's worse than saggy duds") as well as her ongoing career.
She is still working into her eight decade, she says, because she has to. "The banks always want something. They're deciding even now whether to shovel me out of my little apartment..." she says, referring to the mess of papers on her table.
