Early life and family

Harlow was born in Oshawa, Ontario, the daughter of Sandi Herbert and David Harlow. Her mother named her Shalom (Hebrew: 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 developmentally disabled adults. Her parents allowed her to experience growing up in a "hippie community just outside Toronto" and the family often spent time at their family cottage, built by her great-great grandfather. She has two younger brothers, Chris and Nathan.

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." She instead became interested in tap dancing, as she enjoyed the noise it created.

Career

Harlow was discovered at a Cure concert in Toronto and started modeling straight out of high school.[citation needed] She has since appeared on numerous magazine covers, editorials, top runway shows, and in movies; she also 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 worked well in both commercial and couture campaigns. She is the first-ever winner of Vogue/VH1's Model of the Year Award, winning it in 1995. Harlow is the spokesperson for Chanel's Coco fragrance.

In July 2007, she earned an estimated total of $2 million over the previous 12 months, with Forbes naming her thirteenth in the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels. She has appeared on the covers of magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, W, V, Cosmopolitan, and Allure.
