Carol Alt: Older Women Have Lives, Have Sex, & Love to Look Good

Carol Alt, the '80s supermodel, who has adorned the covers of more than 500 magazines and was nicknamed "The Face" by Life magazine, has expanded her brand to actress, author (she's written two books on her raw-food lifestyle), and now to TV hosting. She currently headlines A Healthy You & Carol Alt, airing Saturday afternoons on Fox, covering wellness topics.


In this chat, the native New Yorker, 54, gives us her take on the current trend to feature much older icons in fashion ads, the designers she swears by, what she would change about the industry, and her secret to staying youthful, and more.

What do you think about the buzz surrounding Joan Didion and Joanie Mitchell in the Céline and YSL campaigns this past January?


I think it has to do with celebrity and, I think, it also has to do with the point that baby boomers are the biggest buying power these days. They're into retirement, they've got disposable funds, and, I think, that people are finally starting to recognize that older people have money to spend. Besides all the kids are on Facebook and Twitter. They're not buying, they're just tweeting.
