Elle Macpherson: "Modeling Is A Multi-Billion-Dollar Business!"

For those who believe that the fashion and modeling industries are frivolous business, iconic supermodel Elle Macpherson has some words to say:

"The modeling industry is a multi-billion-dollar business. It is not a fly-by-night thing. We have television programs. We have whole TV stations that are devoted to the fashion industry. We create a lot of money for the U.S. economy, for the global economy, actually. So this perspective that the fashion industry is sort of frivolous or fly-by-night or tedious or momentary is actually really not fair."


Elle Macpherson, now 46, will be part of the new series to air on A and CW this fall, The Beautiful Life, which focuses on the modeling and fashion worlds.

Elle MacPherson's Slimming Secret: Fish Oil!

Elle MacPherson's secret to staying slim and looking 20-something at 45 is revealed by her personal trainer James Duigan. The trainer says that "The Body" is actually a fan of fish oil.


Aside from fish oil, the supermodel does a lot of exercises and outdoor activities. “She makes exercise a part of her day. When she was in Sydney recently, she was cycling and surfing all the time. It’s important to stay active at weekends and holidays but, like Elle, you can make it fun,” says Duigan.

But while Elle MacPherson's lifestyle is always on the go, she sees to it that she has time for meditation.

“Keeping stress at bay is one of the best things you can do for your body and waistline, ” Duigan adds.

FYI: Stress is closely linked with stomach fat - studies show that when the body is stressed, it releases a hormone responsible for storing fat around the waist and tummies.

The Greatest Model Of All Time Has Curves

Kate Moss and her heroin chic image? No. The greatest model of all time is no other than the 44-year old curvy Australian Supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Dubbed as “The Body,” Elle Macpherson earned the title “Greatest Model of All Time” after topping the poll of 3,000 women carried out by British high street store Debenhams. Cindy Crawford, 42, was ranked number two and 53-year old British star Twiggy was third on the list.

And why can't she be the greatest model of all time? Elle Macpherson is six-foot tall with exceptional body measurements (36-25-35). She has graced the covers of all the major fashion magazines which includes six cover appearances on Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.

But Supermodel Elle Macpherson did not become as celebrated as other fashion models like Kate Moss. That's why some people might have wondered why she was the one being called the greatest model of all time. According to a representative from Debenhams, however, "Women prefer curvier figures. They go for girls like Elle and Cindy." This answered everything.
