Jenni Rhodes, 81, Is Already Our New Favorite Model (PHOTOS)

Diversity isn't typically the name of the game in modeling, but a few members of the industry are sure making strides to change that. The latest brand we're tipping our hats to is Vielma , a UK-based fashion house that just introduced us to one of our new favorite models: 81-year-old Jenni Rhodes.

Ms. Rhodes, a semi-retired Hollywood actress, poses in Vielma's Fall/Winter 2013 campaign looking every part the chic fashion model. Despite making a career out of designing , it's hard to tell she's used to working behind the scenes -- just look at that bone structure and those eyebrows.

Luckily, Rhodes is represented by Close Models, so she's already had a multitude of modeling gigs from fashion spreads to Samsung ads (but her specialty is hands , apparently). And she's not the only octogenarian on the scene. Carmen Dell'Orefice , 82, has enjoyed a recent resurgence of her modeling career, noting, "I've had more covers in the past 15 years than I had in all the years before that."

Bravo, ladies. With age --and size -- conventions shifting in the fashion industry, we couldn't be happier to see more and more models push the limits. Check out Jenni Rhodes' campaign for Vielma below.
