Nicknamed
"The Body", six-foot-tall Australian Elle
Macpherson is one of the original
supermodels when the word first started appearing. For a time, Macpherson
was one of the wealthiest models in the business. She marketed a series of
her own photo calendars and appeared in several films. Her personal line of
lingerie, Elle Macpherson Intimates, is the top selling brand in
Australia. However, her partnership with fellow supermodels
Claudia
Schiffer,
Christy Turlington and
Naomi Campbell in the creation of the Fashion Café was less
fruitful. The troubled restaurant venture went into receivership in 2000. |
