The woman, who is named as the “world’s most beautiful grandmother,” was born in 1955, Corsica, France. She had appeared on many magazine covers through the years.
When Rossi started to her career, she was already over 30. ”I was a mother of two kids at 20, working from home, making clothes, knitting, interior design for friends and private clients. I knew since teen that I would never work in an office or stay at the same place through all my life, so even at the time when raising my children I was very active and independent,” Rossi shared.
“There was a time, some years ago, when I started to think things would gradually begin to change and we’d start to see more older models, but that did not happen. I do believe that men and women have the same concerns about growing old, although men might talk less about it. Nobody likes to see their skin give in to gravity. At the same time, growing old is something beautiful because you become stronger with the passing of time,” the old aged model shared with Vice.
“Age is definitely a state of mind. If you are connected with your inner child, you can recharge your batteries and keep that energy. You need to have a playful, adventurous, curious spirit,” Rossi added.
“I haven’t had any cosmetic surgery so far. The idea of going under the knife when I am perfectly healthy doesn’t make much sense to me.”
“I take oil and use it on my skin. I put rapeseed oil on my hair. I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and fine sugar, and I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish,” Rossi also shared her secrets.
“I will model until the end of my life,” Rossi said to The Daily Mail. “But it’s not about modeling, it’s about witnessing, witnessing beauty, energy makes us alive…”
