By eighteen years old, Cameron Russell earned more money than her mother had in her entire life. It's a lot easier to succeed when you're beautiful.\n\nA supermodel for nearly two decades, Cameron reflects on the real impact of romanticising and monetising female beauty. She charts hundreds of small humiliations: getting her period in a white bikini, the photographer who asks her to undress in front of everyone, people joking “you're legal now”. But Cameron knows she is as much an accomplice as she is a victim.\n\nThis is her attempt at making sense of the realities behind an industry that exploits millions and makes trillions.
Cameron Russell has spent the last twenty years working as a model for clients including Prada, Calvin Klein, Victoria?s Secret, H&M, Vogue, and Elle. With over forty million views, her TED talk on the power of image is one of the most popular of all time. She is the co-founder of Model Mafia, a collective of hundreds of fashion models striving for a more equitable, just, and sustainable industry. She continues to organize, consult, and speak to transform extractive supply chains and center climate justice. She lives in New York with her family.
