I've strolled past the London College of Fashion many a time and admired the well-dressed people going in, always thinking to myself that maybe I should have actually followed through with my old plans of studying there. But yesterday something caught my attention in the window. Something so fabulous that it actually made me RUN over the road to see it up close.
No, it wasn't Kim Kardashian or Cher. It was Carmen Dell'Orefice. Or at least an eye-poppingly incredible shot of her. Yes, the London College of Fashion have a whole exhibition dedicated to the 81 year-old model.
Unfortunately I only made it to the teaser wall gallery, not the actual exhibition, although I fully intend to go and see it in its entirety, and took some pictures to show you just what to expect.
She really is a force to be reckoned with. Reading her story on various websites, it seems she's had quite a life, losing her entire life savings TWICE due to really bad decisions. However, she has overcome everything and is still gracing catwalks, magazines and even the odd catalogue. Well, a girl's gotta earn a living, right??
Take a look at the pics below, and an old post of mine here....
