StyleList: What opportunities are out there for a model in her 40s? Can she really have the kind of career you've had at this phase in her life?
Carol Alt: There's work, but what's really missing is magazines. Except for More magazine, I can't think of any publication that regularly features or celebrates women in their 40s. Do you think a magazine like Vogue or American Harper's Bazaar (Alt did her first cover for that mag at 20) realizes most of the women who flip through its pages are women in their 40s, not the 18-year-olds they put on the cover. I find that strange. It's not relatable. I'm looking forward to the day when Vogue decides its covers should be of women in their 40s.
