This isn’t the first time Jacky O’Shaughnessy has been an American Apparel Model. The 62-year-old model from New York started modeling for the clothing brand in 2011 when she was scouted at a New York restaurant.
Jacky told Fashionista.com, "You know, I’ve read so many times that modeling is vapid at best. I found it to be engaging and creative. It requires energy and an ability to communicate without words."
The retailer believes that you can be beautiful at any age, that "sexy has no expiry date." Her previous ad campaigns with the brand has her covered in sportswear separates. This time around the American Apparel model strips down to nothing but a bandeau bra and high-waisted panties.
