A memoir of a brief career as a top model - and the brutally honest
account of what goes on behind the scenes in a fascinating, closed
industry. Scouted in the street when she is 17, Victoire Dauxerre's
story started like a teenager's dream: within months she was on the
catwalks of New York's major fashion shows, and part of the most
select circle of in-demand supermodels in the world. But when
fashion executives and photographers began to pressure her about
her weight, forcing her to become ever thinner, Victoire's fantasy
came at a cost. Food was now her enemy, and soon, living on only
three apples a day and Diet Coke galore, Victoire became anorexic.
An unflinching, painful expose of the uglier face of fashion, her
testimony is a shocking example of how our culture's mechanisms of
anorexia and bulimia can push a young woman to the point of
suicide. It is the story of a survivor whose fight against
poisonous illness and body image shows us how to take courage and
embrace life. Written with Valerie Peronnet.
