Dayle Haddon: author, activist, L’Oréal spokesperson

Former supermodel establishes ‘WomenOne’ charity to help women from developing countries

It’s virtually guaranteed … you have seen the face of Dayle Haddon.  She has been in the beauty and fashion industry for over 35 years.

A baby boomer, a stunning beauty, both inside and out, and now an active UNICEF Ambassador, Dayle Haddon is the only model to have had four major cosmetic contracts with Revlon, Max Factor, Estée Lauder, and L’Oréal – for which she has been spokesperson for over 15 years. Dayle has adorned the covers of dozens of magazines internationally, and has starred in many beauty campaigns. All this happened after her years as a young ballerina with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, when she danced with the Bolshoi and the Kirov ballet companies when in Canada. Discovered by model maven Eileen Ford, then by photographer Guy Bourdin her career went into orbit.

Well into her highly successful modeling career, Dayle realized that women over 40 were not being represented by the beauty and fashion industry. She felt she had an opportunity to change that perception from the inside. She has since been on the forefront of this now well-known age revolution and the result has been two bestselling books on inner and outer beauty, both translated into more than six languages – Ageless Beauty and The Five Principles of Ageless Living.

Dayle spoke recently with Tempo Toronto.
