21st Century Models

The models I'm talking about are mature women, many in their 80s and 90s. For example, Carmen Dell'Orefice is 81 and appeared in last year's Fashion Show.




Ilona Smithkin is 93 and occasionally models.



Dell'Orefice and Smithkin entered the modeling world due to the efforts of a young guy, Ari Seth Cohen, who was fascinated by stylishly dressed older women in New York City.  He started a blog which featured his photographs of these women.  Companies such as Coach saw the photos and were intrigued enough to use some of the women in their ads. Now Cohen has made a movie, the trailer for which is below.

It's never too late!
