At age 59, the lovely Yasmina Rossi is breaking all the rules of the fashion world. Despite her age, she is a highly sought-after model, working for several international brands.
美麗的雅思敏娜?羅西正在打破時尚界的所有規則。盡管已經是59歲高齡，她卻是一位炙手可熱的模特，目前為多個國際大牌工作。

French-born Yasmina had an unusual start to her career – she began modelling in her late twenties, which is when most professional models retire. She got her big break at age 45, when she relocated to New York. That’s when she starred in ad campaigns for Macy’s, AT&T, and Mastercard. Eventually, she landed a job modelling for Marks & Spencers in Europe.
出生于法國的雅思敏娜的事業開端與眾不同——她在年近30歲時才開始她的模特生涯，而大多數專業模特在這個年齡都已經退休。45歲時她遷居紐約，從此事業有了極大突破。這段時間她拍攝了梅西百貨、美國電話電報公司和萬事達卡的廣告。最后，她成為歐洲瑪莎百貨的專用模特。

Everyone is naturally curious to know the secret behind her everlasting beauty, but Yasmina says there is none. “All I have ever done is eat organic food – long before it became trendy,” she told the Sunday Times’ Style Magazine. She also gets a bit of exercise, a healthy diet, and plenty of rapeseed oil for her hair and skin.
大家自然都想知道她芳顏永駐的秘訣，但是雅思敏娜說她沒有秘訣。她接受《星期日泰晤士報時尚特刊》采訪時說：“我所做的就是吃有機食品——早在它還沒流行的時候就一直在吃。”她還會適當地鍛煉身體、堅持健康飲食，往頭發和皮膚上涂很多菜籽油。

“I take oil and use it on my skin: I put rapeseed oil on my hair,” she explained. “I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and sugar. I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish.” She also added that it’s important not to overdo exercise. “This is very important. And don’t take medicine if possible. Go with nature instead of fighting it – this is the rule for everything.”
她解釋道“我用油涂抹肌膚，用菜籽油涂抹頭發。我將橄欖油和糖混在一起，擦洗肌膚，每周一次。每天都吃有機肉、魚和一個鱷梨。”她還指出不能過量運動。“這一點十分重要。并且盡可能不服用藥物。順其自然，不要強制——任何事情都應如此。”

What’s most striking about Yasmina’s photographs is that she appears to proudly flaunt her lines and wrinkles – and they only seem to add to her beauty. That’s almost unheard of in an industry that’s obsessed with perfection. But Yasmina, a grandmother-of-two, says she’s happier with her looks now than she was in her twenties.
最令人震驚的是，照片中的雅思敏娜總是自信大膽地展示自己的皺紋——而這些皺紋似乎讓她看上去更加美麗動人——這在模特這樣一個追求完美的行業里是前無古人的。如今已有兩個孫兒的雅思敏娜稱她對自己現在的外表比20多歲時更滿意。

“I like the way I look now than how I looked 20 years ago,” she said. “My body is nicer and I feel happier than when I was 20.” Amazing!
她說：“相比自己20年前的長相，我更喜歡現在的自己。我身材更好了，也更快樂了。”這真讓人驚嘆！

But 59-year-old Yasmina Rossi is definitely not the oldest fashion model in the industry. That title goes to 87-year-old Daphne Selfe.
不過，59歲的雅思敏娜?羅西并不是業界內最高齡的模特。最高齡模特當數87歲的達芙妮?塞爾夫。
