ELISE SMIDT
About

Hi! I'm Elise, a Dutch/German model and creative based in Copenhagen.
My advertising career started in front of the camera as a high fashion model when I was 15. I had the craziest high school experience, sitting in math class one day, walking the catwalk with Kate Moss the next. Eventually, I chose pizza over salads and “retired” at 18 (or so I thought).
After studying in Rotterdam and Hong Kong, I did a Masters in Creative Advertising in Edinburgh and went on to work as an Art Director/Copywriter hybrid creative at agencies in London and Zurich for 4 years, working for clients such as Persil, Prime Video, WWF, and Swiss Tourism.
In 2022, I decided to come out of my modelling retirement to have another try at modelling in a more diverse and accepting fashion world. Now I'm a curvy model represented by agencies in New York, London, Paris, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Stockholm, and Brussels.
Next to my modelling work, I also do content creation as @Elise_unhinged on TikTok, where I craft unhinged ornaments. I've also started my journey as a stand up comedian, follow me on Instagram for updates on where I'm performing next!
I'm always up for collaborations of any kind, so hit me up if you need a creative brain!
