The world of fashion is an industry that spends billions of dollars a day on developing. Shooting for magazines, showing new collections, developing new trends, searching for photographers and many other problems worry designers, fashion designers, magazine editors and other people. A large role in the success of an event is played by models. Among them, Candice Swanepoel occupies a special position. Photos of this long-legged beauty adorn the glossy pages of many world-famous magazines. Her day is scheduled in minutes. Today, she is perhaps the most sought-after model on the planet and the face of many brand companies.
Whether the girl was born under a happy star or the excellent external data gifted to her by nature did their job, but anyway, by the age of sixteen, the model Candice Swanepoel began to earn about five thousand euros a day.
Childhood
Of course, it is no secret to anyone that pretty girls are born in any country, including in the Republic of South Africa. It is this state that is the birthplace of Candice Swanepoel. She was born on October 20, 1988 in the province of KwaZulu-Natal in the town of Mui River. From childhood, her thoughts were filled with dreams of a catwalk and Ot-Couture outfits.
The will of chance
Once, walking along the Durban flea market, her charming appearance Candice attracted the attention of Kevin Ellis - a scout of one of the modeling agencies, who happened to be there by accident. Fascinated by the beauty of a fifteen-year-old girl, the young man immediately offered Candice to try his hand at modeling. He also organized a meeting for the girl and her mother with Tiffany Prior, the head of the local modeling agency. She was struck by the beauty of the young lady, and immediately gave the order for a photo shoot. Pictures of Candice Swanepoel sent to Cape Town for trial by Christine Reilly, who is a significant figure in the fashion world. She, in turn, sent photos to the London Select agency (under the leadership of this company such celebrities as Helena Christensen and Sienna Miller were "born"). Tired of European beauties and wanting to find a new face, the company leaders rejoiced: Candice came up to the given search parameters like no one else. They immediately invited Swanepoel to come to London. It was there that the start was made to the rapid growth of the girl's career.
The demanded "angel"
A few months later, an African beauty leaves the prim capital of Great Britain and sets off to conquer New York. There, she becomes a pretty popular model, whose salary is about five thousand euros per day. It is noteworthy that Candice Swanepoel without makeup looks as attractive as after three hours spent in the hands of skilled makeup artists. Bottomless blue eyes, soft puffy lips, a thin nose and a shock of golden hair - all this together turns the girl into a sweet angel, who literally defeated the fashion world. Designers, photographers and other representatives of the fashion industry began to attack agents Candice Swanepoel, handling various offers.
Achievements and beauty options
The girl’s career is gaining momentum very quickly. Fashion houses with world-famous names are doing everything possible, trying to get the South African beauty to their show. Over the nine years of work, Candice has starred in commercials for many influential and popular brands. Among them are Swarovski, Miu-Miu, Oscar de la Renta, Puma, Juicy Couture, Blumarine, Calzedonia, Brian Atwood, Calvin Klein, Versace, Nike, Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger, Topshop, Tom Ford and others.
Candice Swanepoel appeared on the covers of Vogue, GQ, ELLE and other popular publications. She happened to not only participate in shows, but also to start many of them. The beauty became the highlight of Frankie Morello, Carolina Herrera, Christian Dior, D&G, Chanel, Donna Karan, Jean Paul Gaultier, Diane von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Trussardi, Givenchy, Michael Kors and many other Fashion Houses.
None of the great fashion maestros were indifferent to the beauty of Candice Swanepoel. The girl’s parameters are so perfect that even supermodels of the 90s lose compared to her. The South African beauty’s chest circumference is 85 cm. The diameter of the waist is two centimeters less than the standard generally accepted value, and the hips are four. At the same time, Candice Swanepoel is 176 cm tall and weighs only 48 kg.
Continuing career intensely
If suddenly the beauty decides to send her resume to some agency, she has something to enter there. A separate item is her work for world-famous magazines, on the covers of which Candice appeared more than once. A year ago, the blonde beauty was very much in demand. She took part in photo shoots for Vogue in Spain, Mexico, Australia. Following came an offer from the English ELLE.
This year is also full of attractive and worthwhile offers. At the beginning of 2014, Candice was already noted on the March cover of the German Vogue. Her photo session was held by the famous Peruvian photographer Mario Testino. In the same month, the girl flashed in W Magazine. Photos of Mario Sorrenti's Perfect 10 project were posted there. In addition to Swanepoel, nine more models took part in the photo shoot, including Adriana Lima, Isabel Fontana, Edith Wilkevichute, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lais Ribeiro, Dautzen Cruz, Dunne Jordan and Carly Kloss.
Fruitful collaboration
This year, Candice continues her successful collaboration with Max Factor cosmetic brand and Victoria's Secret, a popular lingerie brand. The model has already starred in several new advertising projects of both companies. It is noteworthy that for the first time in the history of the brand Victoria's Secret, its face is a representative from Africa. Candice began her collaboration with this company in 2007. Just a few months ago, Victoria's Secret presented an enchanting collection of amazing lingerie. Every year, the company pleases the audience with its fantastic shows. Last year, the main "highlight" of the show was Candice Swanepoel, which showed off the most expensive underwear in the world (in the literal sense of the word). Royal Fantasy Bra, adorning the excellent body of a slender blonde, was adorned with precious stones, the number of which exceeded four thousand. The total cost of jewelry parts is approximately $ 10 million. As Candice herself admits, up to this point she had never worn such expensive things. Three years before the described event, Swanepoel became one of the brand’s “angels”, and since then it has been a part of every advertising campaign and any show conducted under the direction of Victoria's Secret.
Anorexia or fatigue?
The charming blonde also appeared in advertisements for the new spring-summer season collection by Agua Bendita.
A huge number of different ratings are compiled annually in the world. In many of them, in the leading positions you can find the name Candice Swanepoel. She has repeatedly led the list of the sexiest women in the world. In addition, the South African beauty is one of the highest paid models on the planet.
More recently, a scandal erupted in the press, in which she was involved. During the ongoing Victoria's Secret advertising campaign, a photograph appeared in one of the prints, with which Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel pretty slimmed smiled. Even against the background of her colleagues, the blond model looked too exhausted. Candice was immediately accused of promoting thinness and called anorexic. Friends and acquaintances fell into a panic when they saw similar photos on the model’s pages on social networks. However, Candice hastened to reassure everyone, saying that the lost weight is only the result of a busy work schedule, lack of time for rest and frequent flights.
Eight years happy
In the model world, Candice Swanepoel is an example of a long relationship. The personal life of the beauty pleases with its constancy for the past eight years. With her chosen one - the Brazilian model German Nicoli - the girl began to meet in 2006. The couple spends any free minute together. A huge number of photos of a happy couple allows us to hope that it’s the wedding. Curious paparazzi managed to capture the lovers in one of the jewelry stores in New York. After visiting this place, a pretty ring began to shine on the girl’s finger. However, there was no official announcement of the engagement.
Hobby
Even being a very busy person, Candice finds time for herself and her hobbies. She loves doing yoga, sports and dancing. At the same time, she is not interested in the usual training in the gym: Candice is attracted to boxing. Like all girls, the beauty model loves shopping and enjoys shopping with her friends Alessandra Ambrosio and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Swanepoel loves to read and devotes much time to her studies, because because of her early career, she was not able to finish school. It is noteworthy that the girl considers natural beauty to be the best make-up. Even on the set for glossy pages, she loves appearing in a natural way, allowing makeup artists to touch mascara and lipstick.
