Candice Swanepoel was born on October 20, 1988 in Mooi River, South Africa small farming village in the Midlands of KwaZulu- Natal - she was spotted by model scout Kevin Ellise in a Durban flea market at the tender age of 15, and by 16 she was earning 5 000 Euros or R40 000 for a day's work. Kevin Ellise said, 'It was like… honestly, like a beautiful flamingo walking past my shop. the way she walked past just did it for me”. She’s been on the cover of Vogue (Greece), in adverts for Nike, and walked the catwalk for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria's Secret and Diane von Furstenberg
Introduction
The story of this uber waif of a runway model is not totally known. But she is on the verge of becoming the next household name among the Victoria's Secret models. You should know that her last name is pronounced SWAN-a-pole (as opposed to swain-pool). You should also know that she is barely legal, and that the world of high fashion and modeling is surely holding her to its loving, nurturing bosom.
Life Story
Model scout Kevin Ellis spotted Candice shopping at a flea market in Durban South Africa when she was only 15. Now, she’s doing tons of shows and print, and is being touted as the South African Kate Moss. She supposedly hit the runway at the nubile age of 16. In 2007 Candice became the first South African model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She appeared in the 2008 and 2009 shows too, as well as numerous catalogs and TV commercials for Victoria's Secret. She earns around $6,000 a day to be beautiful. No reports on whether she wants to use some of this pile of cash to throw up a website so lonely men with sore genetalia all around the globe can find out how much she likes horseback riding and reading.
