Career

Not many young girls have experienced the type of success that has followed Candice Swanepoel. After signing with Ice Model Management at the age of 15, her career quickly skyrocketed. According to her modeling agency she is noted by advertisers for her fresh faced, doe-y-eyed innocent features, and an elegance which defies her age. These unique qualities landed her major shows in New York City, London and Milan, as well as major ad campaigns representing Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, and Nike. In 2006 and 2007, she was a featured Angel model for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Personal Life

Candice Swanepoel was born in Mooi River, South Africa on October 20, 1988. She was raised by her mother Eileen Swanepoel in South Africa with no illusions of one day becoming a super model. But during a shopping trip at a Durban flea market her life was changed when she was spotted by a local modeling scout. She has since become the first South African model to be chosen for Victoria's Secret Angel campaign and a legitimate supermodel making thousands of dollars for one days work. One negative to the whole experience, is that because of her decision to start modeling at a young age, as well as the travel and time demands involved with the high glamor job, she has been forced to drop out of school.
