A Time magazine article in 1986 rightfully bestowed\u00a0the nickname ‘The Body’ on Elle Macpherson. And it\u2019s not hard to see why.<\/p>\n

Her early modeling career led to a record-breaking five Sports Illustrated covers, resulting in global recognition.<\/p>\n

She’s famed for her remarkable physique – being sporty, strong and sexy with tousled blond hair.<\/p>\n

Elle went on to use the name \u2018The Body\u2019 on many of her business deals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modeling Career<\/h2>\n

Her entry into the modeling world wasn\u2019t deliberate.<\/p>\n

Taking a\u00a0break from schooling in Australia, Elle headed to the US to earn money before starting her Law degree.<\/p>\n

She studied law for a short time at the University of Sydney.<\/p>\n

As a longtime\u00a0ambassador of luxury French skincare company Biotherm, and after numerous\u00a0front cover features in\u00a0fashion magazines, she was able to raise her profile one shoot at a time.<\/p>\n

A hot topic at\u00a0Sports Illustrated, Elle appeared on the pages of their Swimsuit Issues five times, from 1986-1988, 1994, and 2006.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0walked the runways for many high profile designers such as Louis Vuitton, and Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n

Elle\u00a0appeared in a multitude\u00a0of advertising campaigns for companies like Christian Dior and Escada.<\/p>\n

Also featured in the Victoria’s Secret\u00a0catalogue, she was invited to become\u00a0part of the new generation of supermodels.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0twin island country of Antigua and Barbuda honored the model by using her face on a series of postage stamps.<\/p>\n

Savvy\u00a0Business Woman<\/h2>\n

While her fellow supermodels were happy to stay under the guardianship of a\u00a0modeling agency, Elle took one\u00a0step ahead.<\/p>\n

She left Ford Models and set up a company called Elle Macpherson Inc.<\/p>\n

Her newfound independence as a business woman\u00a0allowed her to produce a series of calendars\u00a0and\u00a0workout videos.<\/p>\n

Launching Elle Macpherson Intimates, the collection\u00a0was an instant success.<\/p>\n

The lingerie became\u00a0best sellers in Great Britain and Australia.<\/p>\n

Also a\u00a0co-founder of WelleCo: a wellness company selling alkalizing supplements.<\/p>\n

Work & Family<\/h2>\n

Elle dabbled in acting\u00a0with a series of roles in films such as Woody Allen’s Alice, Batman & Robin and The Edge.<\/p>\n

Also making an appearance on one episode of Saturday Night Live.<\/p>\n

For two reality TV\u00a0show series, Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model, and Fashion Star, Elle was the executive producer and host of both shows.<\/p>\n

Ms. MacPherson is an ambassador for RED, UNICEF, the Smile Foundation and the National Association for Children of Alcoholics.<\/p>\n

She has two sons (Arpad Flynn Busson and Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson) with her former partner Arpad Busson.<\/p>\n

Elle later married\u00a0hotel heir and billionaire Jeffrey Soffer.<\/p>\n

Apart from English, Elle is fluent in\u00a0French and can hold conversations in Italian and Spanish.<\/p>\n

Did you know that silver or grey glasses are the perfect contrast for blue outfits? Something like Vuarnet VL1613<\/a> is worth considering.<\/p>\n
