supermodel. She grew up in Harstad in the northern part of
Norway. Iselin was discovered in 1999 while Christmas
shopping with her parents in London. In fact, she was
scouted twice on the same trip. The first scout was turned
down by her mother who answered "over my dead body", when
asked if Iselin would be interested in modeling. The second
scout sent a letter to a local agency in Norway, which
sought her up in Harstad. After her father went with her to
one of her first jobs, he gave the "OK". She started to
model "high fashion" in 2003, and walked for Prada and
Calvin Klein in her first season.
