About this title

Synopsis

A revealing account of Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson’s extraordinary life of celebrity under pressure of relentless perfectionism and trauma of addiction.

Elle shares her hard-earned, well-learned insights and understandings, empowering us all to discover our own uniqueness and life purpose.

In the dazzling world of fashion, Elle Macpherson is synonymous with elegance and timeless beauty. Her inimitable, ‘give-it-a-go’ spirit underpins all her achievements as an iconic supermodel, businesswoman, and wellness advocate—a remarkable career concealing profound inner challenges.

A powerful journey of personal transformation and a meditation on public image, self-image, and the meaning of real beauty, Elle peels back decades of curated perfection to share rare wisdom and intimate, messy realness from life in the limelight, including:

• Elle’s early life-lessons as a teenager modeling in 1980s New York building a remarkable career with professionalism, strong values, real results and her breakthrough opportunity with Sports Illustrated
• A meteoric rise to fame as a runway model for iconic designers like Azzedine Alaļa and Calvin Klein and actress in Hollywood films like Sirens and Batman & Robin
• Nuanced reflections on relationships, divorces and the delights of raising her two sons.
• Previously undisclosed traumas with addiction, burnout, overall mental, emotional, and physical health—and the startling realization that gave her life new meaning

This open-hearted book reveals the authentic journey of personal transformation that empowered Elle to prevail over adversities, illness and inner conflicts. Told with Elle’s irrepressible humor and honesty, elle offers a wise perspective on resilience, recovery, self-trust and authentic love that empowers readers to value their own uniqueness, embrace life, and love unconditionally.
