Victoire Dauxerre
About this listen
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

‘It is rare for someone to blow the whistle so spectacularly as Dauxerre. Hers is a salutary tale of abuse in plain sight. Hopefully her book will be a force for good’ Evening Standard
‘A poignant book’ Elle
‘This book has an important purpose’ Times

review
she repeated words frequently. I had no idea how the fashion world really was and listening to the horrors of it was difficult. I found myself rolling my eyes a bit during it because she was a bit selfish and whined alot. Her father made me very upset at the end, not much of a parent if you ask me. After finishing the book i would recommend it and it gave a glance into a very bizarre world of incouraging people to starve them selves and be as thin as possible.
