Vogue's
most-talked-about model of the moment is a British beauty who loves fashion and
admires Audrey Hepburn, not unlike many of the women who have graced the
magazine's pages in the past.
But
something else sets Bo Gilbert apart: She's 100 years old.
"I
love wearing nice things," Gilbert said in a video accompanying the
campaign. "It's always appealed to me and it still does."
"I
dress to suit myself," she added. "I certainly don't dress up for
boys."
She also reflects on how
fashion has changed throughout the years, recalling the first time she saw a
woman wearing a pantsuit, and remembering when women always wore hats with
feathers, usually tilted to one side.
"I
love the different fashions," she said in the film, directed by Kell
Mitchell.
Now
Gilbert is making history herself, as the first 100-year-old model in Vogue.
Her look is striking yet age-appropriate, set off by a bright pink coat by
Dries Van Noten. She also wears a Victoria Beckham top, pants by The Row,
Valentino glasses and a Lanvin necklace, according to the magazine.
The
images were shot by British fashion photographer Phil Poynter, and the issue
hits stands May 5.
