62-Year-Old Model Stuns In New Lingerie Shoot

Move over Candice, Adriana and Alessandra. There’s a new lingerie model in town that could give models half her age a run for their money.

At 62, model Marie Helvin is the face of a new line of lingerie — and she’s stunning.

Helvin models the Always Aliza Fan Embroidery Bra Briefs.

She’s been modeling since she was 15-years-old, even appearing in Vogue, but now she says it might be time to call it a day. ” I very much doubt I will accept another lingerie job. This one will be my last,” Helvin told You Magazine. “In your 60s it’s just too much -– I think I’d rather eat pizza!”

Helvin’s fit figure doesn’t come easily. She revealed her fitness regimen and diet, saying she works out four time a week for at least 45 minutes, doing a combination of things like weights, biking and rowing. She gave up alcohol when she turned 60 and hasn’t has meat for years, preferring to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

“It’s my job. Lingerie modeling is extremely difficult to do and it’s stressful at my age,” she says. “It takes a great deal of work to maintain a good silhouette: I train like an athlete. While my body is not anywhere near a 30-or 40-year-old’s, it is in good shape and it gives me great pleasure to be so healthy and fit for my age.”

In addition to Helvin, other older models have been making headlines recently as well, like Iris Apfel, who’s appearing in ads for Kate Spade at age 93, and 80-year-old Joan Didion, who’s posing for high-fashion brand Celine.

But Helvin is something of a trailblazer for older lingerie models. The line, Always Aliza, for JD Williams, is designed to appeal to older women with its focus on style and functionality .

Coolinvestments Selects Tagetik for Consolidation and Reporting – SYS

HOUTEN, The Netherlands and LUCCA, Italy, July 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ –

- Dutch fashion retail, wholesale and real estate investment group empowers the Office of Finance with leading Corporate Performance Management solution

Tagetik, a visionary leader in global performance management software solutions, today announced that Coolinvestments has selected Tagetik 5 to manage its consolidation and reporting processes within a single, unified solution. The software will replace the company’s existing consolidation and reporting systems. The first phase of the project will include implementation of Tagetik’s consolidation and collaborative disclosure management solution.

The company’s current group reporting and consolidation process is partially supported by Hyperion Enterprise and Microsoft Excel, which is not efficient and prone to errors. It also requires a lot of manual data entry. In addition, the current implementation does not provide the robust IT solution required to facilitate the company’s growth ambitions. The new consolidation and reporting tool will manage current monthly and annual financial consolidation, including non-financial KPIs and related reporting.

“Coolinvestments conducted a comprehensive selection process to secure a software provider that could perfectly meet all of the company’s requirements, show a realistic project approach and include experts to support the implementation,” said Marco van der Kooij, managing director, Tagetik Benelux. “Tagetik outperformed the competition by leveraging rich, ‘built-in’ functionality to support a global consolidation and reporting process, as well as a strong commitment to go for the extra mile to make the project a success.”

“Coolinvestments is making a wise investment in its future by implementing Tagetik 5 to manage its consolidation and reporting functions across the company,” stated Manuel Vellutini, co-CEO, Tagetik. “The solution will provide the company with the ability to make more informed business decisions by having access to accurate data and reports in a fraction of the time of its previous solution with the ability to expand to meet their growing needs.”
