    VOGUE NETHERLANDS SEPTEMBER 2024 INTERVIEW It's cliché, but now that she has grown older, she is more beautiful than ever. Still just as spontaneous and friendly, with a softer aura and a few charming wrinkles. At 39, Doutzen Kroes is once again one of the faces of Victoria's Secret after her much-discussed break, and has started taking on fashion gigs again. She closed the Chloé show in Paris in March. She now only picks the best opportunities and only on her own terms. She feels like she has been lived for too long. "When people told me that, I used to think and say: no way, I control everything myself, but I realized that I have been completely lived. 'Professional' is what clients call it when you keep quiet and never complain. Even when you run into the cold in a bikini at -5 degrees Celsius, or wait in a bathrobe for a fitting at 2 in the morning for a show. Everyone could unload their creative ideas on me, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, but I was never heard. I was so done with that. As a model, I never had a voice, which is where my rebellion came from. Many years ago, in 2013, I tweeted 'save Palestine' when Palestine was completely bombed. I was furious - WTF is going on here! A major cosmetics company made me delete that tweet: my contract stated that I couldn't make political statements. Also, you never dare say no to an important client, for fear of not being booked again. I had to step out of that rat race, all the way back to zero." Mo Karadag, owner of Platform Agency and her agent for twenty years, saw trouble coming. "After all the commotion during the pandemic, now that first big job for the scrutinized Victoria's Secret, I thought: here we go again, all the trouble starts anew. Some called Doutzen hypocritical, but the management of the American lingerie brand has been completely overhauled, and she never said she didn't want to work anymore. She wanted distance, had enough, even called the fashion world a corrupt gang - everyone was wrong. I had sleepless nights because of it, but it was apparently something she had to do to get to where she is now. Call it a tumultuous puberty at 36, happening in front of millions of people." Mo and I have always been inseparable, says Doutzen at home in her stunning house in the Gooi, lined with poplar wood. However, their friendship was on the rocks during what she calls her 'teenage phase'. "We had opposite opinions. Mo tried to talk me out of it - 'You made your point, stop it' - and then to protect me, until he realized that I had to take on that self-destructive role. He let me go and then wrote me a beautiful letter: 'Doutzen, do you know how many people you have inspired just by being yourself. You don't have to do all of this.' But I didn't see it. I had nothing to be proud of, what had I achieved in my life? Just standing in front of the camera. I come from a Frisian Calvinist idealistic background. Saving the world, being good to nature and the community: that's ingrained in me. As a child, I was never allowed to shower for long. At our house, it wasn't about who was on the cover of Vogue, we had a subscription to Nature Conservation and the party magazine of the GreenLeft. I wore sweaters made of sheep's wool that my mother had knitted. If someone drove a big car, my parents had something to say about it. That's why I always wondered if I was doing it right because I wasn't saving lives. My father was proud, sometimes a bit too much in public, but especially for my mother, the saying was always: don't stand out. I always felt a layer of silent judgment from her. When I recently dared to tell her that, she was shocked; she wasn't aware of it. Being honest, that's how you come to beautiful healing processes. It's beautiful that I can share my pain with her now, without her feeling blame, and that we both keep growing. Tears roll down her cheeks. It won't be the last time during the conversation. The silence at the kitchen table is short but intense. she falls unexpectedly candid and vulnerable. She has sworn off Instagram, 'full of triggers and toxins'. The account still exists, but she has deleted the app from her phone and laptop. At home in this place, she is very secluded from the outside world, if she wants to be. From the road, the house is not visible, it is hidden behind a wooden gate. When that opens, you are overwhelmed by a feeling of wow. A Scandinavian high class house by Marc Koehler Architects, with lots of wood, large windows and interior by Nicemakers, in the middle of a wild English garden of 5000 square meters she has created and maintained herself. From every window, you only have views of nature. She works in it daily, as well as in the vegetable garden (ruined by slugs this season). The entrance to the vegetable garden is marked by an arch with two climbing roses, a housewarming gift from my father. We planted them together just a year before his death. Every time I walk through them, I think of him. There is a soccer and basketball court for the children and her husband, and a beehive and a natural swimming pond with frogs and fish for herself (the kids prefer the neighbor's swimming pool). The warm interior has a 70's Los Angeles feel, and the basement contains a man cave for Sunnery with his music studio. As a fashion journalist, I have followed Doutzen Kroes' career for over 20 years. I remember when she was just a 17-year-old schoolgirl trying to break into the industry, facing rejection because she was considered too commercial and healthy-looking. Despite the challenges, she eventually became a top model, gracing the covers of prestigious magazines and working with renowned photographers. If you had something to sell, you had to go to Doutzen. At least, if you could reach her, because Mo and Sarah guarded Doutzen like pitbulls, who remained stoic under the flirting attempts of Leonardo DiCaprio. Until the evening before a shoot, you wouldn't know if a better option would come along for the model, causing it to fall through. If suddenly Mario Testino called, or I&V, or Steven Meisel, photographers who wouldn't get out of bed for less than an A-list. Nevertheless, in the first years of the existence of Vogue Netherlands, Doutzen appeared on the Vogue Netherlands cover 8 times - a guarantee for top sales. And then, during the Coronavirus period, she quickly went from national pride - after a few controversial posts on social media - to being called a conspiracy theorist. The laughing stock of gossip columns, talk shows, and serious media. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Doutzen faced backlash for her controversial social media posts and found herself ostracized as a 'wappie'. Now, after a period of silence, she is ready to share her story and reflect on her journey. She opens up about her childhood struggles and how they have shaped her into the person she is today. By acknowledging her past and facing her traumas, Doutzen hopes to find healing and understanding. She wants to explain the reasons behind her 'rebellious' behavior and show that everyone deserves a second chance. Through honesty and vulnerability, Doutzen hopes to inspire others to confront their own struggles and embrace their true selves. When did that childhood trauma come to the surface? When my father passed away in 2022. He had been depressed and an alcoholic, a result of problems in his own childhood. That was always my thing, understanding the why of it all. When my mother told him she was pregnant with me, he started drinking. He thought he couldn't handle fatherhood. The first 6 months of my life, he didn't even see me because he was in rehab. I already felt a lot of tension in the womb and was in survival mode. My mother had to flee often because my father was aggressive. Not towards her, but he had the tendency to break things in the house. My pregnant mother would hide in the stable. She was already very conscious of me and would speak protectively to me in the womb, like, "Dear little baby, this situation is not your fault." That's the paradox I always felt: a lot of love and beautiful messages from two wonderful people, but at the same time, a really intense childhood filled with anger and sadness. Was it ever cozy, on vacation for example? Definitely, but vacations often ended in drama. Even during dinners, it was always thrilling. If someone dropped a knife too loudly on the table, my father could suddenly explode. If he wasn't drinking, things went well. Then he was simply a kind and wise man. Despite everything, did your parents stay together? Yes, until he told her he was moving out because he had someone else. As a daughter, I saw a mother who didn't set boundaries, and that affected me a lot. I'm grateful that I can now openly tell her, where a big part of my healing lies. Unconsciously, I protected myself for a long time from feeling anything, making the situation look prettier for the outside world. But the strange thing is: it was also occasionally really beautiful. What was beautiful about it? Where I grew up in Friesland, outside the village, very idyllic and rural. My father knew a wealthy family in Het Gooi. Sometimes he would look after their summer house by a lake where we could sail and swim, with friends. It was just paradise. But if it was then nice with my mother, sister, and friends, there was always fear too. What if dad comes home and who knows what mood he's in? Or then he would lie in bed all day with a migraine, and we all had to be very quiet. What did you do as a child during those fights or tensions? My sister would freeze, I became the "man" who stood by my mother's side and would fix everything, try to create harmony. That's why I'm oversensitive to tension; busy birthday parties are very intense for me. I'm constantly feeling out, sensing everyone's stress. Sunnery finds that very strange; he grew up in a large Surinamese family where the more people, the merrier. I even called the police because of my father. Then you were also the family spokesperson while still a teenager. That's obviously not right. And when your mother is sad, as a child, you don't want to be difficult. Because of that sense of responsibility, I missed out on my adolescence. Well, I can tell you: I've caught up on that now. I've let myself rebel a lot. Son Phyllon (13) comes home from school. There are still pancakes from yesterday, says Doutzen. Mother and son speak Frisian back and forth, their resemblance is striking. How did her crisis affect the family? I'm very conscious about parenting; what am I passing on to my children? I feel responsible for breaking the cycle of tension and anger. I don't want them to feel a negative layer. How do my children perceive me as a mother? Am I emotionally stable enough? Am I present enough? How do I react to them? I have a lot of questions. Seems exhausting. Laughing generously: 'It's a lot, I'm super busy.' Back to her childhood. There is a scientific term for it: parentification. When a child takes on the role of a parent when they are not emotionally or physically capable of caring for you. The child also becomes responsible for the parents' well-being. People can remain in that role until their parents' death. I've listened a lot to the Hungarian-Canadian doctor Gabor Maté. He has a vast knowledge of childhood trauma development and the lifelong consequences they have for physical and mental health. That's why a lot of things clicked for me, and I went on a journey of self-discovery, tracing my actions in specific situations step by step. Trauma healing; but first, you have to recognize and acknowledge the trauma within yourself. Awareness, accepting your triggers and where they come from. We can say that the Corona measures were your trigger. How did Sunnery deal with it? He just laughed about it. He has a completely different outlook on life and didn't worry as much. He would say, look outside, just take your dog for a walk, what's the problem? Then I would think, you just don't understand. I saw those measures as the beginning of something dangerous and I couldn't stay silent. There was this fear in me: we will all have to get that vaccine soon. I wanted to have the freedom to choose and got angry about the coercion. Especially for others, or rather: especially for those who couldn't afford to refuse and risk losing their job. Was that fear realistic? Not for me: I was safe and sheltered from the outside world. Why did I have to carry the burden of anger about vaccine coercion on my shoulders? Why did I have to speak up again? I spoke to a business owner once, I got angry because his business had to close. He looked at me and said, it will be okay. Then I thought, why am I angry because I want to save your business. Sunnery spoke to me. But I just really didn't understand him.' Sunnery says: I knew what Doutzen meant; it came from a good place, but it was completely taken out of context. Of course, I get angry sometimes. I found some aspects of the political Covid situation really ridiculous. At one point, there was a chain reaction, it was quite intense, threatening letters send to our home and all. Then it subsided.' Did you feel like you had to fix it for those 8 million followers on social media? Well, I thought something was wrong, if I just say it then people will see it. Naive? Quite. The conviction that if you shout really loud, people will hear you. The last straw was the video in which you thanked the Corona virus. I wasn't the only one, many famous people posted the same video, including Oprah. I just forgot to explain it. I was also too early with it. Many people have since told me that they can now reflect on that period and see that it also brought some positive things. Of course, absolutely not for patients on ventilators in overcrowded hospitals, but for the time of rest and reflection that came with it, without social obligations. No flights, no smog, nature could heal. The media jumped on it eagerly: my head had to roll, because I was a model so obviously stupid, how dare I. Until then, everything was okay. I even had billboards all over Amsterdam with the slogan "Everybody Loves Doutzen" - I couldn't do anything wrong. Even when I spoke out against Black Pete on national television in 2011, I wasn't held accountable. But during Corona, I really messed up in the eyes of many for the first time, because I shook the foundations of society, the pharmaceutical industry, the media, and the government. Do you regret it? Would you do it again? No, I don't regret it, but I also don't feel the urge to stand up again. I'm focusing more on myself now than on the outside world. I still have a lot of work to do. I can feel it even in this interview, I still get triggered, I'm not there yet. Has your attitude towards vaccinations changed? No. I believe you should always have the freedom to choose in everything. The pharmaceutical industry is also a business model, which justifies being critical in my opinion. This doesn't mean I disapprove of the medical world and I'm not grateful for its existence. My critical approach stems from my upbringing. My parents, who have worked in healthcare their whole lives, also advocate for a holistic approach: take care of yourself, eat and live healthily, nature is the best healer. That's what I stand for. During the pandemic, I felt a lack of dialogue, but honestly, I wasn't ready for it myself back then. But none of the talk show guests were saying: what is Doutzen actually saying. No, I was immediately labeled as crazy.' You got emotional again. That's because I see the potential of how healthy we could all live together. Teach children at school the importance of good nutrition and exercise instead of teaching them that there's a remedy for everything. I just don't believe in that, only when absolutely necessary. I had an ectopic pregnancy; without hospitalization, I would have died, so I see the positive aspects of the medical world. But I don't just blindly accept everything.' Have you considered leaving the Netherlands? Not seriously. After a long flight, when I land here through the clouds in the mist, rain, and storm, I'm so glad to be back home. I feel connected to the Netherlands. See, I'm getting goosebumps. Escaping doesn't help; I just have to do it here. She still isn't proud of her career, she says. But she's grateful that she can now live her dream with this wonderful place for her family. I rebelled against the system for a while, now I understand that I have all of this thanks to the system. I'm becoming calmer and regaining trust in life, in people, in my work. All work-related communication now goes through Mo, I don't have to call agents anymore. They smell - understandably - money and want a lot of bookings. For years, I was a fantastic cash cow, but one with a Frisian mentality who suddenly ran away and thought: I'll go where I want to go. You know, while shooting the Body by Victoria campaign for Victoria's Secret, with Imaan H. and Lily A., I felt enthusiasm and joy for the first time in a long time. But I immediately thought: oh no, what will the other side think of this? because I was obviously hijacked by that 'conspiracy theory' side. I never called myself a conspiracy theorist, but there were two camps, and there was no nuance: you were either for all the measures, or crazy. There was one dominant narrative, and if you didn't buy into it, you were labeled crazy. When you talked to people on the street, there was much more humanity, more duality. That's the danger of the internet; there's a complete lack of nuance. The conspiracy theorists were scared of more control and no choice; the people against the conspiracy theorists were scared of the virus and thought: we won't get out of this because of you. I don't want to contribute to that division anymore, not belong anywhere, not feed into either side. My triggers are now an invitation to look within myself. I hope that in the future, I can contribute to unity and not division. Do you still go to parties? Your party days seemed to have disappeared. I was never a party crasher. At parties in New York, I wanted to leave after 5 minutes, after I had done my obligatory round of photos. Sunnery wanted to stay, good for connections he maintains worldwide, and I see how valuable that is, but that's just not me. If I'm not dragged out of the house, I'll never leave. I even forget birthdays. I'm just a hermit. Yet there is an opening for more excitement in her life again. Two years ago, she walked the Alaiä show in Paris and met Creative Director Pieter Mulier: he asked her, and she felt like doing it, especially to give her daughter Myllena (10) - 'a very different type than me: loves fashion' - the chance to experience what her mom does for work from the front row. Uh, you don't like fashion? Well, I'm not someone who's very into it. I rarely buy designer clothes, but I have received a lot, which I keep sealed for Myllena. Will she become a model too? I have no idea, I think she might be more of an actress. At Alaiä, with all the models backstage again as before, for the first time in a long time, there was enthusiasm for the job. And one thing led to another: a shoot for Victoria's Secret in a stunning location in Mexico, photographer Mert Alas' birthday party during PFW, an editorial for Vogue US/UK, two for the Italian D Repubblica. She just finished a three-day shoot in Amsterdam where she shines as the Dutch model icons with Imaan H. and Rianne van R. The foreign magazine that is, has to remain a secret until mid-September. We stroll through the impressive garden, heading for the exit to open the gate, and Doutzen picks some dandelions. They multiply quickly, and you don't want them everywhere. She accepts the non-toxic snakes, 1 meter long, as the garden is only separated by a fence from the nature reserve where a wolf is occasionally spotted. As long as it stays away from her chickens, of which there are four. Orpingtons, those nice and chubby, orange English chickens - they are eight weeks old, so no eggs yet. Her family tries to live as healthily as possible. Although I try to find a balance in that. I also love sitting on the couch with my kids and eating fries. That's the only thing we can order here. A nice saoto, Surinamese soup, that's not available here. During the search for a house, we never thought we would end up here. A Frisian and a Surinamese in het Gooi, I thought that wouldn't fit. And here we are. I'm living my dream here. When the kids move out, I will also move out. Hopefully, Sunnery will then come with me to a large self-sufficient farm.

    According to Dutch Telegraaf TV she's probably going to make a surprise at the upcoming Victoria's Secret show .. similar to what the original supermodels did for the Versace show 2018.
  4. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    The recommended retail price is €9.99 Maybe it's cheaper in some local stores. That seems quite expensive for a magazine, in my opinion. A few years ago it was around €6.

    Interview on Vogue.nl (Sorry, this is not the complete interview but just a part of it. The complete interview is very long and not available on the website.) From widely praised to heavily criticized. The public turned against the most successful Dutch top model when she shared her thoughts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, she's making a comeback, walking the runway for Chloé and Alaïa. In a one-time interview with Vogue's Fiona Hering, Doutzen Kroes opens up about her challenging upbringing, her plans for the future, and that difficult "self-destructive period." It's a cliché, but as she's grown older, she's more beautiful than ever. Still just as spontaneous and warm, with a softer appearance and a few charming wrinkles. At 39, Doutzen Kroes is making a comeback after a much-discussed break, once again becoming one of the faces of Victoria's Secret and taking on fashion projects. In March, she closed the show for Chloé in Paris. She now only picks the best opportunities and only on her terms. She has been taken advantage of for too long. "When people used to tell me that, I would think and respond: no way, I am in control of everything. But I realized that I was totally being controlled. Clients call it 'professional' when you keep your mouth shut and never complain. Even when you're running in the cold in a bikini at -5 degrees, or waiting in a bathrobe at two in the morning for a fitting for a show." Everyone could unleash their creative ideas on me, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, but I was never listened to. I was so done with that. As a model, I never had a voice, which is where my rebellion originated from. In 2013, I tweeted 'Save Palestine' when Palestine was being completely bombed. I was furious – what the heck is happening here! A major cosmetics company made me delete that tweet: my contract stated that I couldn't make political statements. On top of that, you never dare say no to an important client, out of fear of not being booked anymore. I had to take a break from that rat race, completely back to zero. Mo Karadag, owner of Platform Agency and her agent for twenty years, saw the storm coming. "After all the commotion during the pandemic, just as that first major job for the scrutinized Victoria's Secret comes along, I thought: here we go again, the whole fuss starting over. A few called Doutzen 'hypocritical', but due to the wrong management of the American lingerie brand, a complete overhaul has long been carried out, and she never said she wouldn't work anymore. She wanted to take a step back, had enough, even called the fashion world a corrupt bunch - everyone was wrong. I had sleepless nights over it, but apparently, it was something she had to do to get where she is now. You could call it a tumultuous adolescence at the age of 36, played out in front of millions." "Think about how many people you've inspired just by being yourself. You don't have to do all of this.' But I didn't see it. I had nothing to be proud of, what had I really achieved in my life? Just being in front of the camera. I come from a Frisian Calvinist, idealistic upbringing. Saving the world, being good to nature and the community is part of who I am. As a child, I was never allowed to shower for long. At home, it wasn't about who was on the cover of Vogue, we had subscriptions to Nature Monuments and the GroenLinks (political party that stands up for nature) magazine. I wore sweaters made of sheep's wool that my mother had knitted. If someone drove a big car, my parents had something to say about it. This made me wonder if I was doing things right, because I wasn't saving lives. My father was proud, sometimes a bit too openly, but especially for my mother the motto was often: don't stand out. With her, I always felt a layer of silent disapproval. When I finally dared to tell her that recently, she was shocked, she wasn't aware of it. Being honest, that's how you start beautiful healing processes. It's wonderful that I can now share my pain with her without her feeling blamed, and that as a result, we both continue to grow. Tears roll down her cheeks, and it won't be the last time during the conversation. The silence at the kitchen table is brief but intense. Unexpectedly, she opens up with honesty and vulnerability. She has sworn off Instagram, "full of triggers and toxins." The account still exists, but she has removed the app from her phone and laptop. At home, in this place, she is completely isolated from the outside world, if she so desires. Her house is not visible from the road, hidden behind a wooden gate. As the gate opens, a sense of awe washes over you. A Scandinavian masterpiece designed by Marc Koehler Architects, featuring a lot of wood, large windows, and an interior by Nicemakers, all set in the midst of a wild English garden spanning five thousand square meters that she herself designed and maintains. From every window, all you see is nature. She works in the garden daily, as well as in the vegetable patch ("this season ruined by the snails"). The entrance to the vegetable patch is marked by an arch adorned with two climbing roses. "A housewarming gift from my father. I planted them with him, exactly one year before his passing. Whenever I walk through them, I think of him."

    Nice natural shoot. I hope her next photoshoot for Vogue magazine is something totally different with sexy glamorous Bombshell hair and makeup instead of the no makeup look, unkempt hair and camping clothes. vogue.nl

    Enough said about that.

    A stunningly beautiful girl already at the age of 17. Her agency, Paparazzi Models (now called Platform Agency), probably arranged this test shoot for her and after this shoot made her available as a model on their website Because on her own, at 17 years old she wouldn't be able to arrange such a test shoot with a professional photographer. I've got some exciting news! I just watched Shownieuws live on Dutch TV. They talked again about Doutzen because today the Dutch Vogue is available in stores and everyone is excited about her return. There seriously have been zero negative reactions in the Netherlands. Shownieuws expert Anouk Smulders mentioned that Doutzen recently had an important shoot for an international magazine that took 3 days to shoot. She didn't know which magazine it was for, probably kept as a secret. Hopefully, something big is coming.

    PREVIEW Vogue Netherlands September issue 2024 by Lachlan Bailey. ---------------------------------------- There are many more photos and the interview story is really big. Here is a small part. She said she regret her statements because it ultimately didn't accomplish anything. She grew up in Friesland with the values of taking care of nature and fellow human beings. During the pandemic, she wanted to warn people about the vaccin dangers, but ultimately it was not her responsibility to save lives. During the pandemic, she experienced a sort of adolescence that she never had as a child. She felt that the work she did as a model no longer suited her because as a model, she had to remain silent, as the face of major brands should not express any opinions that could impact the brand. However, she wanted to express her opinions. This led to a sort of adolescence during the pandemic.

    According to Shownieuws: Doutzen Kroes will grace the cover of the September issue of Vogue Netherlands. After such a long break, I had expected and hoped for a more impressive/prestigious comeback.
  13. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    She is probably in Ibiza with her family. Hopefully, some paparazzi pictures will surface soon! Instagram Stories Sunnery
  14. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    Let's hope that her agency is working on her solo comeback. In Spring/Summer 2024, she only did multi-girl work and didn't get any solo projects. Perhaps her agency thought it best to wait for the reactions after she appeared in multi-girl projects with other models. There were hardly any negative responses on social media...So, the agency might now work on her solo comeback for Fall/Winter 2024. Otherwise, her comeback really really really sucks and it could be the end of Doutzen's modeling career. If the upcoming Fall and Winter of 2024 are unsuccessful, then it's game over. The wait is killing me .... Almost all campaigns have been released, and Doutzen hasn't been featured in any of them.
  15. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    It is already almost August. A few more days and it will have been six months since we last saw any new work. My heart can't take it anymore ... I need to see her getting new work.
  16. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    I've got some tragic news ... no F/W 2024 Chloé campaign. I am speechless ... UPDATE: This is a Pre-Fall campaign, photographed back in November. The official campaign will probably be released around August. Hopefully with a different cast (incl. Doutzen).
  17. Hollander replied to azkid's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    I'm going to call Mo K. & David B. I am calling them to express my utter frustration and disappointment with the lack of effort being put into getting Doutzen back to work. It is unacceptable that she is not being utilized to her full potential. Doutzen is a talented and deserves to be given more opportunities. It is clear that she is being overlooked and I cannot stand by and watch her talents/beauty go to waste. I demand that immediate action be taken to ensure that Doutzen is given the work she deserves. It is time for them to step up and do their job properly, otherwise, I will not hesitate to take this matter further. I am beyond angry and I expect & demand to see changes made immediately. Doutzen deserves better and it is time for them to start taking her comeback seriously.

    Can't remember seeing this ad for Macy's before. With model Gabriel Aubry. me2cy--blog-tumblr-com Doutzen has had 5 different Calvin Klein boyfriends. With Justin Poortinga. With Karl Lindman. With Gabriel Aubry. With ... ? With Charlie Hunnam. Three Calvin Klein tv commercials with 3 different boyfriends. Her last Calvin Klein campaign was exactly 10 years ago. Time for a new one & new Calvin Klein boyfriend.

    Sunnery Instagram Stories She has been in New York for a week now. She is wearing a cap from AP Studio, Inc. That company only works on the biggest covers/campaigns. She obviously received that cap during a photoshoot there.

    New York probably means new work! Hopefully some big project(s) ahead. Her comeback turned out to be a bit disappointing, to be honest. It started well in February with multi girl photoshoots + Chloé show, but then went completely silent in March and April. I hope for a big (solo) magazine cover and fashion campaign, as well as a return to L'Oréal.

    I hope that is not the actual F/W 2024 campaign because those are just backstage photos from the show.

    That photo has been literally posted multiple times and it's also posted on this page. I hope we get to see a new shoot this month. The last photoshoot was already 2 months ago (the first week of February) and after that comeback, it has been completely quiet, except for a Chloé show (also in February). -------- I wish someone had this SEXY photo in a higher resolution.

    That's not Doutzen. I don't remember her name, but it's someone else. British Vogue made this mistake years ago as well.
