100 year-old model appears in Harvey Nichols ad to mark Vogue centenary
Harvey Nichols has unveiled a new campaign featuring 100-year-old model Bo Gilbert to celebrate 100 years of British Vogue. The campaign includes a film, showing a behind the scenes look at a shoot with Gilbert for an ad that will appear in the special centenary edition of Vogue, which lands on 5 May.
The film notes that the average fashion model is aged between 16 and 25 and Gilbert will be the first 100-year-old to appear in Vogue. In the ad, which was shot by photographer Phil Poynter, Gilbert wears Valentino glasses, a Dries Van Noten coat, a Victoria Beckham top, a Lanvin necklace and trousers by The Row.
An exhibition featuring some of the most famous photographs from Vogue's 100 year history is still running at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Vogue 100 - A Century of Style, is open until 22 May.
