In "Kazanblanca", there is such a sentence: The road you have walked, the books you have read, and the people you have loved will all be hidden in your temperament.
Before I saw Carmen Dale, grace never went out of style, years never defeated beauty, and to me it was just an adjective.
Carmen Dale, recognized as the "longest career line" model in the world, is one of them, and she uses her strength and ability to interpret what is called eternal elegance.
At the age of 91, he can still wear a sheet, revealing a pair of white jade-like long legs, which amazes the world and is crazy.
However, when the world was shocked by her longevity and the never-ending of her career, they almost subconsciously ignored: Carmen Dale is an angel who has fallen into the dust, and her whole life has been in trouble.
Carmen Dale can make time and years make way for her, and has nothing to do with her elegance, more from her never-say-die character.
Carmen's birth, like her life, was a tragedy.
Carmen Dale was born in New York, his mother was a ballet dancer, his father was a violinist, and it is not difficult to see from the construction of the family: a literary family.
Unfortunately, Carmen's father is unreliable.
When Carmen was a child, he fled away in order to pursue his "inspiration", leaving behind Carmen who was waiting to be fed and his mother who had no way to survive.
Her mother hopes that Carmen can inherit her mantle, even if Carmen is in her mother's eyes, her ears are as big as a door, her big feet are like a coffin, and she has no dancing talent at all, but her mother still hopes that Carmen can become a dancer.
And how did Carmen part ways with the path of dancers and embark on the path of modeling?
By the time Carmen was 14, her mother had completely lost her ability to support the family, and Carmen had to drop out of school to go with her mother to do laundry and earn a meager income to maintain her rent.
Luckily, Carmen has a kind godfather, who feels that if Carmen continues to follow her mother, it will be really ruined.
The godfather couldn't bear the destruction of his goddaughter, and through his own channels and connections, he won Carmen the opportunity to appear on Vogue.
However, although Carmen got the opportunity to appear on "Vogue", Diana Freeland, the "legendary godfather" of "Vogue", believes that Carmen is not a good model.
When Diana Freeland saw Carmen Dale, she said to Carmen, "If your neck grows another inch, I will send you to Paris."
Freeland's disapproval did not hit Carmen, who decided to repay the godfather's help to him with hard work, and told Freeland with strength: The godfather helped her, not just out of family affection, she is really talented.
After five or six years in the modeling industry, Carmen's neck did not grow a little, but Carmen began to become famous with her professionalism.
Unfortunately, during the rise of her career, Carmen chose a wrong path.
At the age of 21, the golden age of modeling, Carmen's career was on the rise, she met Bill Myers.
At the most primeful age, Carmen Dale and Bill Myers had a daughter, and their career prospects were almost broken.
What is even more desperate is that Bill Myers is not a person worth entrusting his life, on the contrary, he is a scheming boy who eats softly and hard.
Bill severely controlled Carmen's living expenses, leaving her only $50 a month to survive, during which time she was extremely thin.
The makeup artist who applied her makeup always had to find pins and pin the smallest outfit so that it didn't look loose on Carmen's body.
Makeup artists often secretly wipe tears over Carmen's unfair treatment.
I don't know if it was makeup or tears that made Carmen wake up, or Carmen finally realized that Bill Myers was not a good person.
This marriage, which lasted for 2 years, parted ways.
After the divorce, Carmen threw more body and mind into his career, and when the models of the same age went downhill, Carmen braved the wind and rain to compete with the little girls, and his style remained the same.
I fought like this for 9 years, I don't know if the lack of father's love in childhood made Carmen always desire love, or Carmen is really in love.
Once again, at the peak of her career, she chose marriage.
Photographer Richard Heyman, a photographer who is unknown in the industry, but he can always perfectly show Carmen's beauty when photographing him.
Perhaps Carmen felt that was a man who understood him, so even though the two had known each other for only half a year, even if they had already had a history of marriage failure, Carmen still threw himself into marriage.
is a person worth entrusting, but it's a pity that the two met at the wrong time.
When met Carmen, Carmen was 29 years old, had a brilliant career and a bright future, while himself achieved nothing.
The unequal marriage made feel inferior, and Carmen's continuous growth made stressed, so this marriage only lasted for half a year.
Half a year of acquaintance, half a year of affection, love comes and goes quickly, so in the world of love, the time of appearance is really important.
But from another perspective, if Carmen met at the age of 21, and the two loved each other for a lifetime, would there still be Carmen's "flawless" and "elegant" legends?
When it really is: everything in life, the price has already been set.
The misfortune of marriage has made Carmen's life bumpy, and it is also the unluckiness of marriage and love that makes Carmen always at the forefront of fashion.
After divorcing, Carmen meets a man, an unknown architect, a man more hateful than Bill Myers.
He has no love for Carmen, only to take, constantly absorbing Carmen's hard-earned salary.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Carmen was 47 years old and bankrupt due to the failure of her investment, and the blood-sucking architect hurriedly abandoned her after Carmen's bankruptcy and fled away.
At the age of 47, he is about to enter the "half hundred" year: bankruptcy, divorce, and an uncertain career future, Carmen seems to have encountered all the evil in the world overnight.
But sometimes, experience is the most valuable asset.
The ups and downs of life make Carmen calm when doing anything, and this calmness is elegant in the fashion circle.
Carmen, who entered the age of half a hundred, was not abandoned by the fashion industry, on the contrary, she became a fragrant fruit.
Carmen does not have the youth of a young girl, but a young girl cannot have the comfortable nobility and calmness of Carmen.
Carmen's life seems to have finally ushered in the dawn, but the goddess of fate did not let her go.
In 2008, 78-year-old Carmen Dale was calculated by his godson Madoff and went bankrupt for the second time.
At the age of 78, bankrupt again, the world thinks: Carmen Dale, can't turn over, she's finished.
But Carmen said: Yes, I have become nothing again.
The decadent words made people really believe that Carmen was finished.
As a result, in 2009, the 79-year-old Carmen appeared at Paris Fashion Week in the style of the queen of icebergs, and the temperament after the precipitation of the years made Carmen sensational in the entire fashion circle.
Carmen's "elegance" and "flawless" have become irreplaceable "treasures", and the 80-year-old Carmen has become a common "hot item" of global luxury goods.
Hermes, Dior, Rolex and other brands, Vogue, Bazzar and other magazines, at all costs to ask her to endorse or help.
After all, grace and luxury are what Carmen Dale is good at, and the rich people who happen to use these big names are not young.
Carmen is on the road again, with the image of "the world's biggest model", walking at the forefront of fashion, and moving forward.
Unfortunate childhood, three marriages, three divorces, two bankruptcy, and a bumpy life, failed to hit Carmen, but became Carmen's experience to a higher stage.
Such a person, years, also has to make way for her.
