VOGUE.COM How Doutzen Kroes Is Calling on Fashion to Save the Elephant Population Doutzen Kroes is on a mission. “I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world without elephants in the wild,” says Kroes, who in the days leading up to New York Fashion Week has wildlife preservation on her mind. “This could become a reality if we don’t do something.” The supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret Angel has been hard at work over the past year and a half, in partnership with the Elephant Crisis Fund, on the #KnotOnMyPlanet campaign. Designed to raise awareness about the plight of elephants in the wild, the ads feature Kroes and a bevy of her supermodel brethren posing with their clothing tied into knots. The visual symbol for memory serves to connect viewers to the adage “an elephant never forgets” with a clear reminder to keep the majestic animals on our mind. “The beautiful thing about elephants is their mind, their brains,” says Kroes by phone from her home in Amsterdam. “What we want to do is give the world a message that we shouldn’t forget animals and that we don’t want [poaching] happening on our planet.”Inspired by a trip to Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve with her husband and son, Kroes met with wildlife conservationist Saba Douglas-Hamilton, daughter of zoologist and researcher Iain Douglas-Hamilton. The experience of viewing the elephants within their natural habitat and then learning more about the effects of poaching on their population made a profound impact on Kroes, as did her conversations with Saba. “It was love at first sight,” Kroes says of her initial elephant encounter. “We did the trip that everybody does: the safari and running with elephants. I gathered a lot of background information and learned about their crisis. I knew I wanted to get involved, and I wanted to get the fashion industry involved as well.”Rallying her network of friends and collaborators, Kroes pulled together an all-star team for the campaign. “The beautiful thing about the fashion industry is that after all these years of working together, you create relationships,” says Kroes. “When I first started, I reached out to my colleagues, and everyone was so happy to help.” For the other women involved, participation was a no-brainer. “I was so impressed with this campaign and how ambitious it is; it was an easy choice for me to provide my support,” says Emily Ratajkowski, who joins Miranda Kerr, Joan Smalls, and Adriana Lima as part of the #KnotOnMyPlanet lineup. Even with her fellow stars chipping in, Kroes’s biggest casting coup might be reuniting the original supermodel trinity. “It means so much to me that Christy, Linda, and Naomi are involved—for me, there are no bigger models! Everyone has shown so much support, and I’m incredibly thankful for that,” says Kroes.The celebrity factor is attention grabbing, but it’s the shared sense of purpose that fuels Kroes’s passion for the project. “It’s become a huge campaign with so many people involved all doing this for free,” says Kroes. “I’m hoping we’ll reach a lot of people and get the donations that can put more people on the ground to do the hard job of protecting the animals from poachers.” The ongoing effects of poaching—30,000 elephants die each year as a result of these cruel and illegal practices—may seem disconnected from fashion, but in a world where many still view ivory as a luxury, the industry’s ability to shape trends could serve to shift global attitudes. “It worries me that there is still a demand for ivory,” says Kroes. “This is something that needs to change, which is why these ads are important.”With an event planned for this Saturday during New York Fashion Week, Kroes firmly believes that the campaign will have an impact. “I want to reach the masses; we need everybody to know about this,” she says. To that end, #KnotOnMyPlanet’s famous campaign stars will be using their social media feeds to spread the word, and Snapchat is creating a special elephant filter in honor of the launch, but the goal is about more than creating a viral moment. “We need to use this platform to give back,” Kroes says. “We’ve all been so lucky. This could be a great example of showing how powerful we are in the fashion industry.”

#KnotOnMyPlanet campaign #KnotOnMyPlanet (Robin Wright voiceover) #knotonmyplanet is a campaign to support the Elephant Crisis Fund, with 100% of every donation supporting a coalition of vetted organizations focused on one goal: to Save Elephants Now. www.knotonmyplanet.org

Anton Corbijn has photographed Doutzen Kroes for a special stamp sheetlet with Dutch supermodel titled 'Doutzen, fashion and muse'. Corbijn wanted to photograph Doutzen on all ten photos as pure as she is. rtlnieuws The stamps are on sale from September 12 (in Holland) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doutzen visiting some shows in NY Jason Wu Tommy Hilfiger wwd & just jared

Great style!! ☆ Doutzen signed for 2 years with Hunkemöller. If it is going to be a success they will obviously continue for many more years. Former Hunkemöller ambassador Sylvie Meis (38 years old) did it for 4 years and was very successful but she had to leave because they wanted Doutzen. I can see Doutzen (31 years old) staying with them for a long time.

At least 250.000 I think because she's been spending lots of time on that movie.. hopefully around 500.000 BUT together with her big Hunkemoller deal she will make millions in 2017

New face of Hunkemoller ! ------------------------------------------------------------ Next year she´s making more millions thanks to Hunkemoller & Wonder Woman BTW Forbes forgot about her Calvin Klein Reveal campaign (Exclusive contract which is worth millions)

Upcoming work

Thank u!! Gorgeous Glamour cover. No, I haven't seen the editorial.

She is on the French Glamour August 2016 cover shot by Dutch photographer Duy Vo First French Elle... now French Glamour ... next stop should hopefully be French Vogue Please Alt make it happen! By the way - I really think that shoot she shot late November 2015 in the Bahamas got cancelled I refuse to believe it is still coming out

LOL

Dont think she is going to the beach That is just her daywear style

Wonder Woman trailer No Doutzen yet ...

She is a topmodel She gets judged/booked by the way she looks.. its normal It's her job to take care of herself

Versace show in see through outfit Her body doesnt look very feminine anymore .. boobs are empty/almost gone/sagging skin + her body is too muscular at this point

Bullshit Her boobs never looked like this They changed after having kids..which is normal Watch old pics/runway videos For example her first Versace show..wearing a see through outfit Her boobs looked perfection!

Doutzen used to be his "Oscar" .. but he could not win her over But now it is 2016 He is too old for her (+ not her type) & she is (probably) too old for him lol BTW that dress is sexy but a big fashion mistake It is not right for her body at all U can see everything incl. nipples! Her boobies are very small/sagging skin because of her 2 pregnancies Many people dont want to see that She should have worn something else to the gala.. a better fitting --------------------------------- She looks awesome in that bathingsuit She is wearing a nude/black bathingsuit ... maybe to hide her stomach? Maybe she is indeed pregnant...2/3 months pregnant Her boobs are still empty last 2 pregnancies they starting growing very fast when she was 4 months pregnant + It is a perfect time to be pregnant because she is not having a lot of modeling work + Wonder Woman is done filming If she gets her 3th child in like 6 or 7 months .. it will be Jan/Febr 2017 2 months later she is back in shape again (March/April 2017) She/her agency got 1/2/3 months to shoot covers to promote Wonder Woman June 2 the premiere of Wonder Woman * Although I dont see her getting a serious acting career if she got 3 small kids to take care of But I really think she might be pregnant after seeing that Instagram video last week in the hospital with Sunnery and her mother Almost every pregnant woman brings her boyfriend/husband + her mom to see the first baby ultrasound scan

Actor Chris Pine about Doutzen "She's a sweetheart, '' said Pine this weekend in Los Angeles during interviews for Star Trek Beyond, the new film in the science fiction series. I have done some scenes with her. But I do not know how big her role will be in the film. That always depends on the Director.

Thnx Enrico_sw I heard that Elle France used to be as big as Vogue USA in the 90's But those days are over Nowadays being on the France Elle cover is just not interesting compared to Vogue But seeing Doutzen on the Elle France cover is still very nice because we hardly see her on International covers & because France Elle circulation is bigger than Vogue Paris/Vogue UK it's good publicity

Question: Perhaps it's just me but did they (Elle FR.) spelled her name wrong on that underwear or is it just a VERY weird Z???

Lovely pics and finally on an International cover again Wish she got booked for bigger stuff But I am happy we finally get to see at least something instead of nothing ...

She is the face of Rivella again in Holland (same tv commercial + some extra at the end of the commercial about buying a bottle Rivella and they will clean up the beach (buying 1 rivella bottle & they will clean up 1 square meter on the beach) Photo by Duy Vo Make-up by Mo Karadag Bad photography to be honest & she is looking a bit bland/empty Smiling without showing any emotion in her eyes ....

She shot for the H&M catalog .. wish she stayed more exclusive with H&M and be only available for H&M campaigns like other top/supermodels do -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think they always been very close and still are It was Doutzen who sent her father to rehab in 2011 Most kids have a favorite parent (mother or father) I think mom is her favorite ------------------------------------ BTW Doutzen posted this on Instagram ..... It looks like Doutzen, her mother & Sunnery are in the hospital And she posting a baby pacifier on Sunnerys mouth .... maybe she is pregnant again?

My fav. designer Donatella Versace follows 59 people on Instagram Only a few of them are models ... Doutzen is one of them ! Hopefully she booked Doutzen to walk the Versace show today!

She stole the show... living goddess Hopefully she's doing haute couture next week
