Model Paloma Elsesser lifts the curtain on plastic surgery with her intimate new photography book, “Treasure.”
The 31-year-old model Paloma Elsesser has disrupted that structure. One of the most in-demand models of her generation — a bona fide millennial supermodel — she describes herself as “an agitator.” Walking for brands including Versace, Michael Kors and Eckhaus Latta, she is plus size and mixed race, and her extraordinary appearance has challenged the fashion world’s attachment to the idealized woman.
Both have transcended fashion’s propensity for typecasting, Elsesser in particular; despite ongoing cheers about “body positivity,” plus-size models, a category that usually means a woman who is a Size 12 dress size or higher, are less present on the runway than in recent memory. Fashion search engine Tagwalkthat the overall number of plus-size and midsize models on the runway dropped by 24 percent from the previous season.
Considering that, following the #MeToo movement, many magazines stopped working with photographers accused of misconduct and put guardrails in place to ensure models’ safety on set, there is something utopian about the model-photographer relationship between Sicher and Elsesser, which makes the book notable on its own.
