ELYSE’S STORY

Elyse Knowles started her modelling journey at just 10 years old in 2002, quickly catching the eye of major brands like Target, Myer, Kmart, Ripcurl and Billabong. Her natural talent was undeniable from the start, and she's grown into one of Australia's most respected models.

Balancing school with her blossoming career, Elyse went on to represent some incredible brands including Myer, Seafolly, Calvin Klein, Tag Heuer, Aveda and Vital Greens. But she's never been content with just modelling—her entrepreneurial spirit led her to launch her own denim line, Evrryday, in 2004, and in 2018 she became a bestselling author with her book "From Me To You."

Together with her partner Josh Barker, Elyse won The Block in 2017, sharing their genuine passion for architecture and design with Australia. The couple now run their building business, J&E Projects, and are actively investing in property.

Growing up in a family that treasured fresh air and the great outdoors shaped Elyse's commitment to giving back. She proudly served as WaterAid Australia's ambassador from 2014-2018, using her platform to promote sustainability and care for our planet.

With her down-to-earth nature and tireless work ethic, Elyse continues to inspire while expanding her presence both at home and internationally.
