Elliott Sailors, who used to pose on the beach in string bikinis for photographers Bruce Weber and Ellen von Unwerth, decided to shear her long blonde locks in favor of a more boyish look in 2012. Though she was often dissuaded from entering the men’s modeling industry—with lower earnings, less opportunities, and the possibility of losing her former clients—Sailors followed her heart, breaking through as an unlikely model in the forefront of men’s fashion.
Elliott Sailors said her father took her to a model search when she was 9 years old. It was until 2001, when she was 19, that she moved into NYC to model full time and have been ever since!
About getting into menswear, Elliott Sailors said:
"I’ve always loved androgyny in fashion and at the end of September 2012 I took The Landmark Forum - a personal training and development program. It was in the course that I chose to really move forward in a way that is not only true to who I am, but also the creation of something that is bigger than I am."
