61세 model Yazemeenah Rossi

This woman proves that swimwear models don’t have to be young

Believe it or not, Yazemeenah Rossi is 61-years-old

She was born in France in 1955 and was raised on the island of Corsica

She’s a model, visual artist, and self-portrait photographer based in Malibu, California

These photos are part of a campaign for a swimsuit collaboration between online shop The Dreslyn 

and lingerie house Land of Women

The founder of Dreslyn said the purpose of the collection was to veer away from the hyper-sexualized imagery of 

other swimwear lines

She chose Rossi as their model because, she said, “This is a woman who radiates health and vitality. 

She’s confident, she’s a visual artist, she takes care of herself”

“[This line is] all about being a person who’s well-lived and well-traveled and has intelligence and confidence, 

and letting that shine through”

But how does she look so good at 61?

“There is no big secret,” she once told the Sunday Times.

 “All I have ever done is eat organic food – long before it became trendy”

“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”
