Former Victoria\u2019s Secret model Elyse Taylor spoke with Vogue Australia about social media, her decision to get breast implants, and the unregulated nature of the modelling industry.<\/p>\n
Here are our highlights:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s more three dimensional. Social media really sets you apart: you need to be interesting, have goals and something else going on. You can\u2019t just be a model anymore because it\u2019s all about followers.
\nThere\u2019s no healthcare, there\u2019s no regulated hours. Sometimes we don\u2019t get paid, sometimes our agencies take more than their commission. It\u2019s a very unregulated industry and there\u2019s no union — there\u2019s no anything. And a lot of girls work for free, even with the shows you don\u2019t get paid, you get trade. It makes it hard when girls aren\u2019t banding together and they\u2019re willing to do something for free.
\nIt [Taylor’s breast enhancement surgery] was a personal decision; small breasts are never a problem but it got to a point where I could make a substantial amount more money in my career if I did get them because I\u2019m blonde with blue eyes and I\u2019ve got a bum! And then literally a week later I started work with Victoria’s Secret and then the ball started rolling. […] I was 23 so I wasn\u2019t too young and I think I was old enough to make that decision enough in myself. […] I think you need to be an adult and make decisions that are right for you. The end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
