About the Book: In her comic memoir, How Not to be a Supermodel, Ruth Crilly recounts her decade as a fashion model in the 2000s. With a witty and self-deprecating style, she details her journey of not-quite-making-it as she travels the world, fueled by optimism and an “inconveniently fulsome” bust. The book is a humorous, honest look at the world of high fashion, blending the glamour with the “juddering reality” of an industry obsessed with perfection.
