87岁超模劝模特们走秀时别摆臭脸

Daphne Selfe, who started modelling in the 1950s, has lamented that today's crop of youngsters walking the catwalk look miserable.

达芙妮·塞尔夫在20世纪50年代就开始做模特,对于当今年轻模特走T台时脸挂着痛苦的表情,她颇为感叹。

 
The 87-year-old told an audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival that she enjoyed the experience of posing on the runway. She said she thought it a shame that the same pleasure is not reflected on the faces of today's models which includes the likes of super-surly Cara Delevingne, 23.
 
Miss Selfe said: 'I like prancing on the catwalk. They all look so sullen now, don't you think? Why it is they all look so miserable? I always enjoy it. I don't think you should grin at the audience but I do think you should look pleasant.'
 
Miss Selfe has posed for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Gap, Nivea and Olay during a career which has spanned more than 60 years.
 
She has also featured in top fashion magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire and been photographed by renowned fashion photographers including Mario Testino.
 
She currently holds the Guinness World Record for the world's oldest professional fashion model.
