The legendary Carmen Dell’Orefice will be walking for local designer Max Tan at this year’s Digital Fashion Week in Singapore.
At 83, Dell’Orefice, who began her career with a US Vogue cover when she was 16, is the world’s oldest supermodel.
She’s had a prolific career, having modelled for international names like Galliano and Gaultier, and is still active — her last appearance was at the 2013 New York Fashion Week.
Three years ago, Dell’Orefice was awarded an honourary doctorate from the University of the Arts London.
In a statement by the organiser of Digital Fashion Week, which happens at the National Design Centre from Oct. 31 — Nov. 3, the model expressed her thrill at being a part of the event and collaborating with Singaporean designer Max Tan.
“In doing so, we have become ambassadors for our countries, cultures and decades.”
