While Elle Macpherson was one of the most famous faces of the 80s and 90s, the supermodel says she was never in love with the job.

Macpherson reflected on her career in fashion in an interview on ITVs This Morning, explaining how she didnt love modeling but I love what modeling brought me.

The cover girl, who was nicknamed The Body during her heyday, said her favorite part about being in the industry was creating imagery and producing and art-directing and seeing magic come to life.

Its been a beautiful means to an end for me because I travel, Im independent and I have had a large scope of a career because of it, she went on, noting how she initially started modeling to save up for law school.

While she never became an attorney, Macphersons career in modeling offered her many other opportunities.

She launched a successful line of lingerie, Elle Macpherson Intimates, in the 1990s and later expanded the brand to make beauty products. In 2014, Macpherson co-founded the health supplement business WelleCo.

After hitting a high point in the modeling world, she branched out into TV hosting and acting, and was even cast as a recurring character on Friends.
