Sophie Dahl
Sophie Dahl was born in 1979, the daughter of Tessa Dahl, a writer, and actor Julian Holloway.
Famously her grandfather was Roald Dahl, the famous Children's writer, who dedicated the BFG, to her when she was a young girl.
Dahl's childhood was one where she was pushed between LA, and a English boarding school, which it is said contributed to her depression and anorexia, which she overcame. Her ambition was either to write or to act, but at the age of 18, she was potted while having a argument with her mother by Vogue writer, Isabella Blow, who also discovered Stella Tennant, so Isabella Blow passed Sophie's deatils onto the modelling agency, Storm.
The Blonde haired, blue eyed, "size 14" as she was at the time, made a quick hit, the fact she was almost 6 foot tall, and larger in weight and physique, than almost every famous model of the time, helped make a name for herself. She was compared to fat models, which many found annoying, as of course was not that fat, just a little above average weight. Which in a sense was ironic, as she at times was made fun of whenever she upped a little in weight when younger. So from 1996, to 1997, she became the fashion sensation of the year.
She went onto to do many modelling shoots, photo shoots, cat walks, and model work. Very early on there were spreads on her in major newspapers, with her fanous relatives, being a boost for her reputation, as Roald Dahl. Many models have famous relatives, but Roald Dahl, probabaly had a more positove image, as of being a writer, than less familiar, jobs, like people famous for being rich, or whatever.
She in 1999 appeared in the Pirelli Calender, and she was compared to voluptious 1950s, US models.
Her most famous campaign was with Yves Saint Laurent which was contraversial for her poses.
She has been linked, with Mick Jagger, and Griffin Dunne
She also like many models tried to enter the film world, appearing in King of Bollywood, The (2004) Standing Room Only (2004) New York Stories (2003) People I Know (2002) Revengers Tragedy (2002) Best (2000) and Mad Cows (1999). Sophie Dahl also appeared in the theatre, in the London production of The Vagina Monologues, plus being Juliet in a radio version of Shakespeare. She has also had the opportunity to do writing, in 2002 writing The Man With The Dancing Eyes. Which is said to have been a adult fairy tale, a bit like some of Roald Dahl's work.
In the 2000s, she has reduced partially in weight, but is still of a bigger build than models, like Naomi Campbell. It was felt she may be a inspiration in the modelling world, to more models, that were not very thin. At a time in the late 90s, especially when more people were saying that thin models, encourages anorexia, and things. But it seems that she is only famous supermodel at the moment not to be classed insultingly by some critics, as wafer thin. But there are many models, in modelling agencies, of bigger builds of course. And she is not even above average weight for her size, some say.
She has been compared to a giantess, or amazon, which she is not that happy about. This site was finished in December 2006.
In August 2007 it was known Sophie Dahl was having a affair with the 5 foot 4 pianist Jamie Cullum
Measurements: (US) 36-26-37 ; (EU) 91.5-66-94
