Candice Swanepoel’s name suddenly became famous globally thanks to the title of Victoria’s Secret angel. She is one of the iconic lingerie angels with high recognition.

In the fashion field, Candice Swanepoel is classified as an “Industry Icon” by the leading model website – Models.com.

“Industry Icon” models are recognized as icons of the fashion industry.

They have built excellent careers, walking in a series of fashion shows, appearing on many magazine covers, and having the highest level of bookings from brands.

Potential to become a famous model

Candice Swanepoel was born in 1988 in a small village along the Mooi River in South Africa. The female model grew up on a cattle farm.

Since she was a child, she always wanted to do something different, something that her family and herself would be proud of.

At the age of 15, Candice Swanepoel was discovered at a flea market.

“She reminded me of a flamingo,” recalls Kevin Ellis, the model scout who discovered Candice Swanepoel. “She was tall, blonde and had perfect legs.”

That day, Ellis saw something special in Swanepoel, a girl from her home town who had the potential to capture the attention of the global fashion industry.

In 2003, Candice Swanepoel made her first overseas trip, to London, England, to work as a model.

“My world changed completely in ways I never imagined. Within a year of meeting the model scout, I started receiving more and more job offers all over Europe,” the model shared.

After two years of traveling between Paris (France), Milan (Italy), London (UK) and South Africa, Candice Swanepoel decided to move to New York (USA) to pursue a full-time modelling career.

Candice Swanepoel’s real career breakthrough came when she collaborated with Victoria’s Secret.

In 2007, Victoria’s Secret contacted Candice Swanepoel’s agent. By 2010, she officially became an angel, a dream title for any model in the world at that time.

“My mother always told me that the most important thing is to be humble and hard-working. Because appearance does not bring success in life. That is a lesson that I always remember,” the 1988-born model emphasized.

One of the most famous angels in the world
Possessing a sexy body and a beautiful face, Candice Swanepoel is one of the iconic Victoria’s Secret angels of all time.

She shared: “Becoming a Victoria’s Secret angel is a great honor and responsibility. You are not only the face of a brand, but also an inspiration to millions of women around the world”.

Candice Swanepoel’s appearance on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show always creates a fever. She has graceful and seductive steps, decorated with angel wings behind her.

Candice Swanepoel’s sexy body and charming smile at the end of the runway have become the most iconic moments at the show.

Candice Swanepoel’s secret to success in the profession is not only due to her appearance, but also comes from her work ethic, discipline and ability to adapt to many different styles.

The model can look gentle and romantic at one show, then change to fierce and bold at another. She shows well many styles that Victoria’s Secret wants to introduce to the public.

In 2013, Candice Swanepoel was chosen to present the Fantasy Bra design named “Royal” worth 10 million USD (more than 252.8 billion VND).

This high-end lingerie model was made by the jewelry company Mouawad, studded with more than 4,200 precious stones including rubies, diamonds and yellow sapphires, set on 18K gold.

The most sparkling part – a 52-carat pear-shaped ruby ​​- is attached to the center of the bra.

With the support of angel wings, Candice Swanepoel is sought after by many international fashion houses.
