  1. Her photos for Victoria's Secret in 2024 do nothing for me. Not sexy. The photo is kinda boring and perhaps she doesn't have enough body fat in her breasts to make really beautiful lingerie photos. (my opinion 😉) ----------------------------------------- There is a small misunderstanding regarding non-stop working. I thought you were talking about working full time. She worked full time from 2005 to 2010 because she got pregnant in 2010 and became a mother in 2011, so she started working less. In 2003 and 2004, she never worked non-stop because she hardly got any work offered during that time (nobody wanted to work with her because she was too pretty for fashion/commercial looking and that diverted attention from the clothing, and because the alien look/skinny size zero was trendy back then) and her agency was very selective and even refused commercial work like a Guess campaign. During the period of 2003 and 2004, she went many months without income while still receiving bills. But since she had kids, her agency arranges work for her in a way that she doesn't have to be away from home too much because she has young children. For example, she may work 3-5 days and then be at home for 3 weeks. The misunderstanding is that when she works 3-5 days, she does indeed work non-stop. That's why you hear Doutzen say non-stop working in interviews. But she hasn't been working full time since her pregnancy in 2010. If you have a little bit of people knowledge, I don't have to explain to you that happy people don't go on vacation(s) specifically for trauma healings, for example. I can make a list of examples showing that Doutzen was not really happy during that period (during that period when she was having a sabbatical), as she presented herself, but I don't feel like typing and going through all that hassle all over again! I am pleased with the client list (D La Repubblica, Vogue UK, Vogue US, VS, Chloé show) she has been working for since her comeback. That list is impressive. My only complaint is about the quality she delivers for certain shoots (VS and Vogue UK/US), and that up to now she has not done any solo work, while most models of her level get a big solo project during their comeback, like a major magazine cover/campaign. (It's my opinion and my complaint. You don't have to agree with me, and that's okay ... no hard feelings)
  2. She is working on her comeback, but she is not (yet) getting major solo projects. Working non stop? I don't know what that means to you, but she has NOT been working non stop since she had her first child in 2011. If you followed her career like I do, you would know better. Her agency arranged her work in such a way that she did not have to work non stop, for example by working 3-5 days in NY and doing multiple shoots on those days, followed by 3 weeks at home. Of course, she said she was very happy with her life during that shitty Corona period/losing friendships in the industry and didn't want to be a part of the modeling industry anymore. However, it is clear that she was not as happy as she claimed, as she is now returning as a model. She wasn't feeling well mentally (lots of meditation + healing vacations for her traumas), and she felt like the whole world was against her. She lived for years like a recluse, her manager (Sarah Keller) from day 1/one of her best friends got cancer and didn't receive fast treatment due to the priority given to COVID-19, and shortly after passed away because she was out of treatment options. Shortly after, her father suddenly passing away. The ideal world she would like to live in is just simply not realistic, and while she could live as a recluse to avoid reality, it wouldn't make her happy. It's just a waste of life. If she shares her story with people, clients, or in an interview, people will have a better understanding of her...instead of calling her hypocrite for returning as model.
  3. A month and a half ago, the first work was published, but now a month and a half later, there is still no solo comeback project or cosmetics campaign. I hope she will return to the L'Oréal family (that's how they called eachother), but so far it remains quiet. I am surprised that she has not booked any solo magazine covers yet and she remains completely silent on social media! Clients want attention and publicity in recent years, so it seems better for Doutzen to become more active on Instagram and promote her work/comeback. By the way, that Calvin Klein Eternity campaign is the most beautiful & elegant Eternity campaign ever created. It reminds me of the Blue Lagoon movie with Brooke Shields...but with clothes on.
  4. De Beers campaign is photographed by Michael Thompson. I hope to see Doutzen in a jewelry campaign again this year. All of her jewelry campaigns (De Beers, Tiffany & Co., Piaget) are great.

  6. That style doesn't suit her at all. And .... wearing sunglasses in winter?? Imagine if she dressed like that for an important casting. That's really not a good first impression. You can tell she doesn't care about fashion & doesn't look at fashion magazines because you just don't see this mess in fashion magazines. In 2005 & 2006, when she used to walk all the fashion weeks, she ALWAYS looked good and classic/timeless, which suited her perfectly. After that, it went downhill and she often wore sloppy, loose and oversized clothing and a mix match of everything. Very messy.
  7. She walked with her chin up. That's how her jaw looks when she does that. Comparable to her F/W 2005.06 Valentino campaign by Meisel. On Instagram, there is a video of her at the Chloé show. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C37Zz0rL8UV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
  8. What a lovely surprise! 🩷 Now Chloé can be added to the list of big shows she has walked for. From Sunnery his Instagram Stories Doutzen Kroes walked shows for: Alaïa, Anna Sui, Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, BCBG Max Azria, Belstaff, Blumarine, Bottega Veneta, Byblos, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Chloé, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Dsquared2, Emanuel Ungaro, Emilio Pucci, Etro, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Isabel Marant, Jacquemus, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, Lanvin, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Mugler, Miss Sixty, Missoni, Miu Miu, Nicole Miller, Nina Ricci, Oscar De La Renta, Paco Rabanne, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Sonia Rykiel, Sportmax, Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, Versace, Victoria's Secret, Viktor & Rolf, Yves Saint Laurent, Zac Posen & more.
  9. I find it very disappointing that she has not walked any shows so far while she is working on her comeback. She skipped 🇺🇸New York and 🇮🇹Milan. She hasn't even been present to attend Fashion Week. I hope for a surprise in 🇫🇷Paris, for example to walk exclusively for Miu Miu or Louis Vuitton. This way she also shows the industry that clients are still interested in booking her for shows and maybe campaigns as well. But so far she's only done multi-girl photoshoots for magazines + VS multi-girl campaign. We don't even know if high fashion brands are still interested in booking Doutzen. She should start walking on the runways and participate in as many shows as possible, just like Irina Shayk. This way, she can demonstrate that high fashion brands are still interested in her.
  10. Milan Fashion Week starts today. Imagine if she skipped NY, Milan & Paris ... While we have been waiting for it the whole time. 😅🤣 EDIT = She is on a ski trip this week with friends & family, so it might be unlikely that she will go to Milan. On the other hand, she might be quite close to Milan... 1 hour with the helicopter from French Alps/Switzerland to Milan.

  12. That art director of Victoria's Secret must really dislike her ...
  13. Finally something amazing! Doutzen the fashion model! She looks into the camera with a intense gaze in her eyes, good lighting and makeup, good art direction and photography, styling, etc. Fantastic cover .. can't wait to see more from this shoot!
  14. Did not expect to see her working for VS again. She aged A LOT in 4 years ... so wrinkly! I see not only sagging skin with wrinkles, but also a few age spots. She needs to take better care of her skin as professional model. Hate to say it again ... not impressed by the VS pics (the photography, styling, etc. is fine). This looks a bit like my face expression (disappointing/grumpy/worried) seeing the poor quality of her new work. By the way.. You don't sell VS outfits looking grumpy, bored or angry. The sun is not shining on her face so it's not because of the bright sun. She needs to improve her modeling skills as well. I'm starting to doubt if she still has what it takes to work as a topmodel.
  15. Pure tragic! Doutzen makes her comeback with the most ugly photoshoot she has ever done. I don't see talented model(s) in these photos, and I also don't see a photographer with talent. Is the photographer a talentless nepo kid or just really great connections?
