In the glamorous galaxy of modeling, Bruce Hulse was a supernova. Taken under the wing of famed photographer Bruce Weber as a fledgling model, Hulse went on to collaborate with the industry’s biggest names as one of the world’s top male models.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the exciting world of top models was filled with sex, drugs, and countless other indulgences. Bruce Hulse is one of the most recognizable figures of that time; from his iconic Calvin Klein and Levi's ads to his appearance on the cover of GQ, his face defined an era. In Sex, Love, and Fashion, Bruce shares the true stories of his globe-trotting career working with some of the industry’s biggest names–Calvin Klein, Janice Dickinson, Herb Ritts, Elle Macpherson, Andie MacDowell, Paulina Porizkova, and Cindy Crawford among them–and also details the exhilarating successes and painful failures he experienced on his way to the top.
Bruce Hulse pulls back the curtain on the life of an international supermodel and reveals everything the cameras don’t expose. Sex, Love, and Fashion is a dishy, sexy, and honest look at what really happens to beautiful people playing in the often decadent fields of fashion glory.
Review Product
As an author who also wrote a memoir about being a former model ("Falling Off the Catwalk" by Spunky Books), I consider myself a tough critic. But Bruce Hulse really pulled through in his memoir, "Love, Sex, and Fashion." I was particularly impressed with his ability to communicate his spiritual path within what one might think was the antithesis of a spiritual setting--three decades of the fashion and modeling industry. Bruce not only captured an outstanding discussion of his own struggles and successes within this context, but did so in a fashion that was not preachy, condescending, or judgmental. In fact, Bruce's tone was always humble and very kind.
Having worked in the industry myself for five years, I found it incredibly admirable how generous and graceful he was in defining some personalities that I found challenging to say the least--of course Bruce was fortunate to also have met some truly inspiring and outstanding people, of whom he admirably described and gave generous credit. Bruce consistently reviewed all his relationships with empathy, understanding, grace, and, indeed love.
Equally pleasing was that he was and seemingly is capable of looking at even the most difficult and daunting situations with a sense of humor and compassion. Therefore, perhaps most satisfying of all, I found myself reliving parallel experiences to his with a newfound and more optimistic point of view. Believing, like he does, that we all have our own paths, it was incredibly refreshing to see how he applied (or tried to apply) good intent to all of his actions (sometimes failing, yet rising to forgive himself just as eloquently as he so generously forgives others). Indeed, Bruce has much to be proud of: not only in putting so much of his own personal history into such beautiful expression, but in his respectful approach to recording (some very spicy) sexual situations with women, his ability to allow us to see our sexuality as a wonderful, yet responsible blessing, and in his over-riding discussion and expression of the most powerful of all emotions--love. Congratulations Bruce-
