Born on October 20, 1986, Elyse grew up in Vaucluse, Sydney, but her lifestyle quickly changed after being scouted at a young age. With modeling came a sudden shift of pace and focus, from flying to shoots and working in New York.
Since her career began, Elyse has walked for Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferretti, Dolce & Gabbana, and Roberto Cavalli, followed in Miranda Kerr’s footsteps by working for David Jones, and says that her biggest accomplishment was gracing the cover of Vogue Australia in 2009.
Spending the majority of her time so far from home is obviously hard; she credits her mother as her biggest inspiration. So when it comes down to needing some time off, she heads Down Under. "Apart from my family and friends, I miss the Australian lifestyle. New York is such a workaholic city, it's hard to find the time to relax."
