Elle Macpherson Young
In the 1980s, along with Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Naomi Campbell, PavlÃna PoÅ™Ãzková, and Cindy Crawford, she became part of the new generation of supermodels.
In 1989, Time magazine gave her the nickname Elle “The Body” Macpherson after she appeared on its cover. She continued to use the name in various business ventures.
In 1996, Frank DeCaro of The New York Time was citing her, along with Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, and Claudia Schiffer as “The Magnificent Seven”. He was reflecting, “Known by their first names to legions of fans, they are the legends of the modern catwalk, the pretty girl-next-door under all the paint.” 
In 1994, she was leaving her agency, Ford Models, to form her own company, Elle Macpherson Inc., which would serve as the financial organizational base for her later endeavors.
She soon went on to produce her own series of calendars, each of which was accompanied by a “making of” television show in 1992, 1993, and 1994. She used this as a springboard to create “Your Personal Best: Body ” exercise video series.
She subsequently diversified her business portfolio and in 1990 launched her ‘Elle Macpherson Intimates’ lingerie collection in association with Bendon Limited Apparel. Intimates became the best-selling lingerie line in both Great Britain and Australia.
The association was one of the first cases of crossover between a model and a fashion brand. In 1989, when Bendon first approached her about promoting her lingerie in Australia, she saw an opportunity to reverse her strategy and suggested a licensing deal, with products bearing her name and designs created in association with Bendon’s team. Although commonplace now, the idea was unorthodox at the time.
She took a major role in the development and management of the company, serving as director of marketing and later creative director. In January 2010, she expanded the line, launching Obsidian as a sub-brand. 
While nursing his second child, he spearheaded the development of an exclusive line of maternity bras.
Intimates has retained high brand recognition into the 2000s, appearing as a featured brand on America’s Next Top Model ; Last year the brand celebrated 10 years of existence at Selfridges.
Elle Macpherson Playboy
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but we hadn’t published anything from The Body yet . This is how she was nicknamed in the 80s, when she marked an era along with other mythical colleagues by profession. She has already gone down in history as one of the best top models, but even today, at 49 years old, she is still a true goddess. I’m talking about Elle Macpherson .
What a crime not to have her here until today! But we are going to solve it by publishing one of her best poses. The one she did for Playboy back in 1994. Seeing her naked, even if it’s in old photos or that you already know by heart, is still hypnotic.
And it is that she has always had a body with some of the most perfect proportions in the world of the catwalk. Surely she still reserves a few poses with which to leave us drooling for the umpteenth time, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy this wonder.
