Early life and family
Harlow was born in Oshawa, Ontario, the daughter of Sandi Herbert and David Harlow.[2] Her mother named her Shalom (שלום), meaning "peace" or "Hello" in Hebrew. Her father held several jobs as a social worker, real estate agent and financial investor while her mother, Sandi Herbert, worked with mentally challenged adults.[3] Her parents allowed her to experience growing up in a 'hippie community just outside Toronto'[4] and the family often spent time at their family cottage built by her great-great grandfather.[3]
Early on, Harlow took up ballet which she later decided was not for her as she claimed in a 2008, New York Times article, "My rebellious nature always comes out."[5] She instead became interested in tap dancing as she enjoyed the noise it created.[5]
Career
Harlow was discovered at a The Cure concert in Toronto and started modeling straight out of high school.[citation needed] She has since appeared on numerous magazine covers, editorials, and top runway shows, and appeared in movies and co-hosted MTV's House of Style with fellow supermodel Amber Valletta. She was the long-time favorite model for many designers who found that her look translated well between commercial and couture. She is the first ever winner of Vogue/VH1's Model of the Year Award. Harlow is the spokesperson for Chanel's Coco fragrance. She has two younger brothers, Chris and Nathan.
In July 2007, she earned an estimated total of $2 million over the previous 12 months, Forbes named her thirteenth in the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.[6]
In 2007, she modeled for Jones New York, Tumi, Tiffany & Co, Nautica, and Chloé. The following year, she appeared in the Valentino Spring/Summer 2008 campaign, and then featured as the only model in a digital catwalk for Viktor & Rolfs Spring/Summer 2009 show. In 2012, she appeared in the Cartier clip L'Odyssée directed by Bruno Aveillan . She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
