| The reason we chose her is partly because of the famous Dolce & Gabbana ad that sparked so much controversy for its lesbian undertones. When we first saw the ad, we were immediately fascinated by Elsa's unique beauty and knew that she was sure to be one of the top models in the world someday. |

| She is the cover girl for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue 2001. She was also in the Top 50 Beautiful Women for 2000. Elsa has appeared on various magazine covers from Vogue Italia to Elle and Marie Claire. |

Elsa Benitez was born in Sonora, Mexico in 1977. She got her modeling start after winning a model search in Costa Rica in 1995. With Linda Evangelista as one of her childhood idols, Elsa would also have a chance to follow her dreams.
Modeling gigs poured in for Elsa soon after, first in Mexico, where she started out her career, and then in the United States and Europe. In 1996, Elsa appeared on the cover of Vogue Italy three times -- in April, August and September.
Signed with Elite Model Management, Elsa then managed to grace the covers of plenty of top fashion magazines, including Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire.
The Mexican beauty has also done advertising campaign work for Dolce & Gabbana, Macy's, Episode, I-N-C, J.Crew, Oscar de la Renta, Rena Lange, Nine West, Valentino, and Jones New York. Joining models such as Tyra Banks and Laetitia Casta, Elsa has also donned the lingerie and clothes of everyone's favorite company, Victoria's Secret.
Elsa appeared in the 1999 Pirelli Calendar that featured "Women Through the Decades". She was photographed as representative of the groovy '70s in the exclusive issue. |
