Book synopsis

Here for the first time is the complete story of the international model businessand its evil twin: legalized flesh peddling. Its a tale of vast sums of money, rape both symbolic and of the flesh, sex and drugs, obsession and tragic death. At its heart is the most unholy combination in commerce: beautiful, young women and rich, lascivious men. Fashion insider Michael Gross has interviewed modelings pioneers, survivors, and hangerson, and he tells the story of the greats: Lisa Fonssagrives; Anita Colby, Candy Jones; Dorian Leigh and her sister Suzy Parker; Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy; Veruschka and Lauren Hutton; the 90s supermodel trinity, Christy, Naomi and Linda; and todays top models, from Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen to the eastern European faces whove taken fashion by storm. Taking us into the private studios and hidden villas where models play and are preyed upon, Gross tears down modelings carefully constructed facade to reveal untold truths of the ugly trade in pretty women.
