Autumn Gold     There is lots happening this Autumn where do we start?  Firstly, Daphne was thrilled to be out on the catwalk. Although not quite so delighted to be barefaced and barefooted!  As you know Daphne is a great advocate for a little makeup at all times. But we think the results speak for themselves – amazing!   Alighieri Jewellery Catwalk Show     In London this Autumn we have just had London Fashion Week.  Alighieri Jewellery held its first catwalk show to show its spring/summer 2020 collection. The casting included models aged from 1 ..read more

Harrods Christmas Magazine – a days work is a treat in 2020!   Harrods Christmas Magazine – a days modelling work is a treat in 2020! This year has not been a year that any of us could have foreseen. The majority of us have been affected by the COVID 19 Pandemic in one way or another. Daphne & Claire like the analogy “we might be in different boats but we’re all in the same storm!”  Reminding us that so many things in life are out of our control and if we can adapt and change to the circumstances we find ourselves in it’s better than fighting against these forces. To make the b ..read more

I WAS SO WRONG  I was so wrong but let me give you a bit of background first. It was a while back now: Daphne and I had only been together once in the last 5 months on her 92nd Birthday on 1st July. This was as England’s lockdown was relaxed a bit and we could meet in her garden for a small family celebration of fewer than 6 people. As this is a good few weeks ago now I thought we must arrange to see each other again soon.  In normal times before the Covid-19 pandemic, we’d meet regularly in London. We live on opposite sides of the city and the train system is good and easy for us bo ..read more

WE’RE CELEBRATING Daphne has been in UK Lockdown since March. All around the world many of us have been isolating similarly in our separate homes.  It has been a difficult, painful and scary time and we do hope that you have been doing well, staying healthy and coping as best you can.  Possibly even finding some positives in this shocking pandemic. As restrictions have begun to be loosened slightly, with gatherings of up to 6 people at a time now allowed here in the UK. With 2m (6ft) social distancing reducing down to 1m+ (3 ft+) it has come at just the right moment ..read more

Best Dressed   The Grey Best Dressed List from a while back got us thinking about being ‘best dressed’.  What does that mean to you?  We think it means putting your outfit together with care everyday not just for best.  It’s lovely to wear Prada for a photoshoot but for most of us it’s not something that we’d wear day to day.  Best dressed is also not just for once or twice a year although having special events to dress up for and be extra glamorous is so nice to do in our book.  At this minute are you wearing your PJs or are you in a T Shirt and jeans?  It’s ..read more

Flashback   Let’s flashback to 2010 when Daphne did a shoot for Wunderkind Magazine with Marco Alexander.  Daphne was 82 years old here and we think you’ll agree it’s a great Autumn/Winter shot.  One we thought that’s worth looking at again.       Flashback Interview   For this flashback of this beautiful image we’re looking again at the interview Chanel Moye did for Daphne’s Modelling Agency Models 1.  So here is a flashback to it!  At 82 years old (in 2010), Daphne Selfe is Britain’s oldest working fashion model. Currently the face of Wunderki ..read more

A Shy One   Are you a shy one? Recently one of our community members and modelling students referred to herself as the shy one.  This is a beautiful, bubbly seemingly outgoing and confident person who we’ve spent time with and had lots of fun together (we even did an impromptu photo-shoot).  There was never an awkward pause in our conversation or anything to give us a clue that this was her inner view of herself. This got us thinking about the subject of shyness, what is it and how to overcome it – will it ever go away?       What Is Shyness?     ..read more

    DAPHNE’S OPINION   Does Daphne’s opinion matter?  As a model for over 70 years, Daphne is well aware that she is seen through different eyes and different lenses. With it all depending on who is looking and what they are trying to achieve.  Therefore on a modelling job, Daphne is only a part of a bigger picture and someone else’s agenda is in control. Similarly as an artist’s model Daphne is seen through the eyes of the particular artist in question. Whether Daphne likes the end result or not is completely irrelevant to Daphne. What she can recognise is whether it ..read more
