- I am very excited to introduce you to Season 4 of my Style DNA podcast … which launched this week with none other than the Supermodel who is known (for good reason) as The Body…the exquisite, effortlessly chic and serene Elle Macpherson. Elle is not only a Supermodel, she is a Mother, Businesswoman, Television Host and an Actress.
I loved our conversation …we discuss her personal style journey, growing up in Australia and not really being into fashion as she spent most of her time outside in nature. By her own admission she took a leap of faith into modelling as a way of making some pocket money while at University. The universe clearly had a different plan for her and before she knew it she was modelling New York, working with all the top fashion photographers and gracing the covers of all the major magazines. In 1989 Time magazine coined her nickname “The Body” after she had appeared on 3 successive Sports Illustrated covers…(with 2 more to come). At the tender age of 21 she married the famous French photographer Giles Bensimon (20 years her senior) in a glorious and avant guard Azzedine Alaia couture gown. She is open about how it felt to effectively grow up in front of the lens whilst being styled to be endless different women… and working out her own personal style when she was not in front of the lens…
She tells me about the 180 degree shift in perception…when she first started in the modelling world, the more distanced you were from your audience, the more iconic you were and the more successful you were… and how today, the closer you are to your community, the more accessible you are, the more successful you are…and navigating those changes. Not to mention being on the covers of magazines still at 60…
We chat about the challenge of staying stylish as the years creep by and how staying true to your essence is one of the most powerful style statements we can make… her thoughts are considered, eloquent and thought provoking.
Elle’s beauty is undeniable but it is far more than skin deep … she has been on a wellness journey, inspired by turning 50 and “hitting a wall” and not being able to rely on genetics any longer…she says she didn’t recognise herself anymore. Her personal journey led her to the creation of her highly acclaimed WelleCo brand of “clean, plant-based elixirs & boosters backed by science, driven by nature”. She is the embodiment of beauty coming from within… and it was a great privilege that she shared so much with me in this episode.
You can also listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
Bless her and good luck to her, her body, her choice..... despite all the press slagging her off!!!
Having been brought up in New Zealand and loving the natural world and health I so identify with Elle and have worked in Radiotherapy and I am so in admiration of her treatment of breast cancer. She is an individual and one I admire and understand. I am so thrilled she has come through her treatment and I always love her words of wisdom and ideas on health and how to live. I don't drink alchohol after what I have seen working in health and it is a precursor of breast cancer.
The interviewees are great but Amanda has such perception, she guides the interview in a polite but expert way
Great Interview ❤ I have always loved her for her integrity & intelligence ❤
i’m sure she is a good person. at 60 she will be humbled by this regardless of her wealth. given i’m here she i grew up with her presence. i’m glad to say i live with my dog on a yacht sailing the pacific and no health issues what so ever . i wish her well x
Lovely interview ❤
So nice to see this interview compared to the Tabloid'esque interview by 60 minutes & Australia Today. We just want to uphold our great Icons, not be spoon fed the other stuff
It would be nice to offer affordable products. Her line of nutrients is extremely expensive. The rich can afford to get better, while people struggling with finances can't afford to have access to many forms of healthy alternatives and essential nutrition.
If there’s a reboot of the Australia’s Next Top Model then Elle Macpherson would be a New Host and Judge for the Season 11. Australia will always be her home 🇦🇺
As 'TheBody360" but sadly for me without the six foot stature, but with an amazing online resource for women, it would be amazing to sit and chat to this iconic lady. Wonderful interview Amanda....I have enjoyed all of your guests; they have been utterly inspiring.
Both of you are beautiful, intelligent women and set good examples to other women and that is important.
yes. women designing for women is the best
I know it’s Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid era now. But we older women should still be seen. I missed the Supermodels of 80s and 90s. But I still see Naomi Campbell in the runway, she never gets old.
This is the first time I have ever seen Elle looking old. I guess everything comes to an end .
LOVE LOVE 💟💟💟
Wish i had understood the name of the woman designer Elle mentioned a si also like the "elegant" but comfortable track pants she 's wearing
Nina Morse, I think
