Did you know that Lauren Hutton returned to modeling at age 45 (the same year that Kate Moss began modeling at age 15), or that she’s a motorbike enthusiast? How about the fact that she’s wrestled alligators and camped out with African villagers? We didn’t think it was possible to love Lauren more than we already do, but with these fun facts, we’re more dazzled by her than ever.
Hilary Alexander of Telegraph UK met up with the iconic model during Milan Fashion Week. The pair immediately bonded over their age, discussing Lauren’s adamant position against Botox and her recent modeling work. “I did the J.Crew cover recently, my first in 20 years! And do you know what is the best thing? They left my wrinkles in. They didn’t retouch and make me look like a plastic egg.”
She’s all on board for the return of the supermodel, blaming re-touching for the lack of individuality in the industry. “That’s one of the reasons none of the models have personalities like Kate [Moss] or Gisele [Bundchen], any more. All the young ones are retouched so nobody looks individual.” Plus, she states that she started the whole return to the supermodel, when she quit movies and focused on modeling.
Lauren, we’re in love—all over again!
