Born on July 24, 1982, in Moeskroen, Belgium, Elise says of modeling, "It's every girl's history where the most unattractive, tall, skinny girls in high school are picked on, and then suddenly, they turn into the opposite. It's kind of hard to believe." Kind of hard to believe indeed, considering Ralph Lauren, Prada, Jil Sander, and Elie Tahari have all chosen Elise to be the face of their collections.
An agent picked her out of oblivion one day on the street in Brussels, where she was attending college. Unconvinced a life of exotic travels and free fashion was for her, Elise tried several different careers, from marketing to translating, before she decided to give modeling a go after winning the 2000 Miss Mannequin modeling contest in Roeselare, Belgium.
