CARRE OTIS has had one of the most celebrated and controversial careers in the history of the modeling industry. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she achieved fame as both a model and an actress, headlining runway shows around the world and serving as the face of long-running campaigns for both Guess and Calvin Klein. Her film role as Emily Reed in 1989's Wild Orchid opposite her future husband, Mickey Rourke, brought her considerable fame and notoriety. Her marriage to Rourke was characterized by intense abuse and violence, widely covered in the press. Despite struggling with an eating disorder and drug addiction, Carre continued to enjoy great success as a model during and after her relationship with Rourke. Today, Carre lives with her husband Matthew and two young daughters in Colorado. A long-time student of spirituality and Buddhist practice, Carre has reached a place of profound peace-and an enduring commitment to transforming the business of beauty, a business that brought her both great success and great pain.
