(7 Mar 1995) English/Nat The model creating a stir at this week's Milan fashion shows is not a young new face. It is the white-haired, 64-year-old Carmen dell' Orifice. Former top model dell' Orifice agreed to reappear on the catwalks as a tribute to the first Moschino ready-to-wear collection since its founder died of cancer last year. The fashion world has gathered in Milan this week for the latest collections forecasting next autumn and winter's looks. But the spotlights were on American Carmen Dell' Orifice, although she is old enough to be the other models' grandmother. The supermodels may be younger but dell'Orifice still knew how to take the catwalks by storm. The mother of a 41-year-old daughter, dell ' Orifice, was persuaded to sashay back down the runway as a special tribute to the fashion designer Franco Moschino who died of cancer last year aged 44. Dell'Orifice began her modelling career 50 years ago but gave up the catwalk years ago. SOUNDBITE: “I'm careful about what I eat, I'm careful with exercise, I say to all women to take care of yourself, don't put yourself last, take care of your family or you'll end up falling apart, put yourself on the list too, and take good care.“ SUPER CAPTION: Carmen dell'Orifice Another older model made her appearance on the catwalks. The 45-year-old Pat Cleveland, a top model in the 1970s, said fashion has no age. Fashion designer Laura Biagotti believes that models can be from any generation: SOUNDBITE: “Every day women are all young, they're all beautiful, they have good character all over the world, I think we cannot invent fashion for the special woman. I have in my mind if she's blond, if she's Italian, if she's a mother, never mind, if she enjoys fashion.“ SUPER CAPTION: Laura Biagotti, fashion designer But the comeback of Carmen dell'Orifice is showing women they are never too old to be beautiful.
