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 Dauxerres story started like a teenagers dream within months she was on the catwalks of New Yorks 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 Victoires 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 cultures 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.
