Size Zero - Victoire Dauxerre

. .

Résumé :

Scouted in the street when she was 17, Victoire Dauxerre?s story started like a teenager?s fantasy: within months she was strutting down the catwalks of New York?s major fashion shows. But when fashion executives and photographers forced her to become ever thinner, Victoire?s dream became a nightmare.

In Size Zero Victoire unflinchingly exposes the ugly face of fashion and details her personal battle with anorexia nervosa and bulimia with painful honesty. A shocking indictment of the pressures our society puts on young women, her story will give strength to anyone trying to overcome or understand the increasingly prevalent problem of eating disorders.

`Unique and persuasive ? bravely, Dauxerre names names ? even the big ones? Sunday Times

`It is rare for someone to blow the whistle so spectacularly as Dauxerre. Hopefully her book will be a force for good? Evening Standard
