Her name is Elisabetta Dessy, she is 66 years old and when she was young, in the 70s and 80s she had a successful career in Italy, as long as the rules of the time allowed her to stay on the catwalks.
Elisabetta has been an Olympic swimmer, then a model and now returned to the catwalk to attend the Valentino Haute Couture show at Milan Fashion Week and went on to become the first model over 60 to represent Victoria's Secret.
The well-known underwear brand has been criticized over the years for the standard of beauty it represented with very thin girls who received the nickname "angels". Due to numerous criticisms, the leaders were forced to change direction. Finally, Victoria's
Secret has it all, even the girls with fuller shapes, and now a 66-year-old woman has advertised two of the brand's designs.

Elisabetta was chosen for the campaign of love, i.e. Saint Valentine, and this selection points to the marked change that the fashion world is undertaking to promote beauty at every age.
