Kate Upton Covers Elle’s September Issue
By Jennifer Lynn
Everyone knows the September issues are the most important and exciting fashion magazines of the year, and Elle UK have really hit it out of the park, with their Kate Upton cover.
Shot by Matt Jones, wearing new season Prada, Kate tells Elle how her famous curves have affected her modelling career so far.
“Because I’m from Florida, it’s all about being in bathing suits,” says the 22-year-old. “You are ugly if you don’t have a curvy body. And I didn’t have one, and then I got one, and thought, "Yessss!"
“And then people say, ‘Oh, wow, you’re healthy,’” Kate continues, magnifying the fashion industry’s obsession with skinny. “And you’re like, ‘Wait – what?’ I’ve been begging for this body my whole life!”
Kate’s full interview appears in the September issue of ELLE UK, on sale August 1st, which is also available as a digital edition – see www.elleuk.com.
