Elise Crombez

[Cliveages]

... i found these pics on the net and i don't know if these had been posted, i don't remember seeing the pics when i scanned the whole thread

Very cool.. she was like "this is how we roll"

A recent observation! Don't you guys think Elise sort of walks like Amanda Moore? They have the same mannish attack. B)

i agree but in different ways, imo.. i must say that Amanda's walk is strong but kinda stiff but not like suvi and Elise intends to wiggle her hips a little bit in a cute way.. and in terms of posing in the end of the runway, our girl is fierce

'Vroeger zei men in Sint-Idesbald: kijk, dat is de dochter van Johan', zegt vader Johan Crombez. 'Nu zegt men: daar is de vader van Elise. Maar haar leven is niet enkel rozengeur en maneschijn. Het is een harde wereld waarin ze leeft. Eigenlijk kies je niet om model te worden, de sector kiest jou en laat je ook vallen. We hebben nog twee zonen. Die moeten vechten voor hun plaats. Misschien mogen we blij zijn dat we geen tweede dochter hebben.'

'Topmodel of niet, Elise blijft gewoon mijn zus', zegt broer Tom (24). 'Ik voel me helemaal niet in de schaduw gesteld door haar. Wij steunen elkaar constant. Alles heeft ook zijn voor- en nadelen. Ik heb een goede vriendin, terwijl voor Elise een relatie nu moeilijk is.'

'Toen ik in New York arriveerde, was het of ik in een film stapte. Dat gevoel is nooit verdwenen. Belangrijk om het daar zeven jaar uit te houden, was dat ik telkens naar Koksijde kon terugkeren. Ik voel me eigenlijk een beetje schuldig tegenover anderen dat ik die kans kreeg. Ik voel me ook schuldig voor het imago van de modellenwereld tegenover de echte vrouw. Ik stond dertien keer op de cover van modeblad Vogue. Mannen maken dan vergelijkingen. Maar voor mij is model zijn een tijdelijke illusie. Ik kan dat wereldje relativeren. Echte en sterke schoonheid, dat vind je volgens mij bij jonge moeders en bij vrouwen die gracieus ouder worden.'

Hoe lang Elise (26) nog doorgaat? 'Iedereen vraagt me dat, maar ik weet het antwoord zelf niet. Wat ik wel weet: nadien zou ik iets willen doen in een film. Geen glamourfilm, maar een alternatieve prent. Een film met een boodschap.'


Ok, the first part of this article is the same as the other so I'm not going to translate that.

Now the big lines of the part here above:

Her dad says her life isn't all sunshine. It's a hard world. You don't choose to be a model. It [fashion] choses you. she has 2 brothers that have to work hard for everything they want. Maybe they should be happy they don't have a second daughter.

Her brother Tom says he's not living in the shadow of his sister. They support each other. Everything has it's advantages & disadvantages. He has a girlfriend whereas for his sister a relationship is difficult at the moment.

Elise says this whole experience of being a model feels surreal. She's happy to come back to Koksijde from time to time. She feels a bit guilty for the image of the fashion world. Men compare models to everday women a bit too much. Being a model is just a temporary illusion. She says real & strong beauty can be found in young mothers and women that get older graciously

She doesn't know for how long she'll keep modeling. She knows she wants to be in a movie. Not a glamour movie but one with a message.

******** That's sort of it.

Many thanks, Cliveages!

She's still thin there. Perhaps not yet the "bulldozer" she calls herself. Haha.

 

[HopefulSeeker]

Simply incredible! One of the BEST! Truly talented, terribly underrated and under-celebrated! Maybe that's why her work is singular and authentic; her heart is presumably her guide. She's a hard-worker and such a good woman, too! Miss her

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

 

[AngeloftheEast]

Clive, i've never seen those pics before.. thank you for posting..
and yah, she was quite thin there, when was the photos taken?

.....she's really adorable flexing her muscles out, she has a good humor of herself..,
and it was taken from her hometown?, WOW..

Simply incredible! One of the BEST! Truly talented, terribly underrated and under-celebrated! Maybe that's why her work is singular and authentic; her heart is presumably her guide. She's a hard-worker and such a good woman, too!

^totally agree!

 

[Cliveages]

^i guess it was taken on 2005 but i'm not sure though..

and i also agree to HopefulSeeker.. she's very talented yet very underrated, and she's a very sincere & warm person..
she deserves better than she's receiving right now..
