Elle Liberachi: 2009 Top UK Cover Model

16 Aug

Elle Liberachi is a name that sounds like the long-lost daughter of Liberace and Elle Macpherson. 2009 Top UK Cover Model as selected by Maxim, Elle Liberachi seems to think that wearing nothing is much more fun than wearing something, and they love her for it. But this British model is far more likely to be showing off on a journal cover near you than they is to be playing a piano recital at Carnegie Hall.

“I’m so used to being naked now; if a photographer makes me feel comfortable, I relax.”
-Elle Liberachi

Maxim’s 2009 Top UK Cover Model

May of 2008 would mark Elle Liberachi’s first appearance in the British version of Maxim, a shoot that featured her naked and surrounded by goose feathers, all to promote a special feature on bedroom fantasies. The pictures offered more fantasies than the text did, surely disappointing those subscribers who only paid to read the articles, and Elle Liberachi resurfaced again that month on the cover of the tech-oriented magazine, T3.

By the spring of 2009, Elle Liberachi was a cover model for international editions of Esquire and FHM, and landed her biggest accolade to date as the Top Cover Model of 2009, as selected by Maxim. For Elle, the honor dramatically increased her visibility across the media and on any male’s computer with an internet connection. It also earned her prime placement in the June 2009 American issue of Maxim, marking the first time that she had appeared on North American soil.

Her Success

Elle Liberachi was somewhat of a surprise choice by Maxim as its Top UK Cover Model of 2009 to many people outside of Europe, not because she isn’t scorching hot, but because she isn’t that well-known yet internationally.

Though beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, those who have seen Elle Liberachi aren’t having any second thoughts about her having been chosen. The majority of her industry experience thus far has come from runway work for Guess, modeling for Lynx, a fair amount of lingerie modeling, and magazine covers for FHM, T3 and Esquire.

Being recognized for her almost ridiculous beauty just isn’t enough for Elle Liberachi. What she really wants to do is sleep with Daniel Craig (in 007 movie). A James Bond fan since she first discovered Octopussy as a child, her ambition is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ursula Andress (her Bond Girl of choice) as one of 007’s most decadent dames.

Sexy Factor

A model who looks up to Brigitte Bardot, Elle Liberachi not only shares the same blond locks and French heritage as the classic sex kitten, but she also willingly throws away any inhibitions in the name of art. Catsuits and bikinis are nothing out of the ordinary for her on the job, and neither are goose feathers, which came in especially handy when she took everything else off for a Maxim bedroom shoot.

While we’d like to imagine that Elle Liberachi spends her nights eating ice cream, writing romantic poetry and wishing for the end of her eternal singleness, that just isn’t the case. She’s a social butterfly who parties at Paris’ hip Favela Chic and she’s currently dating musician and ex-model Mikey Green.
