“The photographer’s mindset is high, not in the gutter. It’s all projection,” she said of why she was open to stripping down.
Like Johnson, Dell’Orefice has a special connection to Vogue: Back in 1947, she fronted the fashion bible at age 15, making her one of the mag’s youngest cover stars of all time.
“With [photographer] Irving Penn, I brought my first double page in Vogue to life,” she recalled of her first appearance in the magazine a year prior. “He told me to try to breathe as little as possible and don’t move. Just sit there. Irving was a really good friend to me, and he saved my life physically. He made me go to the Vogue staff doctor to ensure I was healthy enough to work because, in those days, you needed permits due to child labor, especially at my young age.”Dell'Orefice, now 91, has been working as a model since the 1940s.
