BEHIND THE SWIM SPECIAL: STELLA MAXWELL You probably recognize this Belgian-born beauty from the cover of our 2014 Christmas Dreams & Fantasies Catalogue (not to mention the 2014 Fashion Show)—but get ready to see more of the stunning Stella Maxwell. She’s featured in several of our new campaigns, as well as our upcoming Victoria’s Secret Swim Special. One thing we learned instantly when we met her? This girl LOVES the beach. We chatted with her about beaches, bikinis and all things swim—check it out. ‘Lie in the sand’ or ‘splash in the waves’ kind of girl? All of the above! I love lying in the sand, reading a book and listening to some music…but I also love hopping on my longboard and getting in the surf. Beach braid or beach waves? Beach braid. I LOVE braids in my hair! Poolside or seaside? Seaside. Nothing can’t take the place of the beautiful ocean air, palms swaying in the breeze and the sound of waves running up the beach. Ice cream, coconut or popsicle? Combo! I like coconut ice cream. But my FAVORITE beach treat is fruit—you know when they chop it up and add lime and chili sauce? I love that. How old were you when you learned to swim? I was swimming in the womb…I grew up in New Zealand and swimming’s a must there. Surf’s up! Ever had a major wipeout? Yeah, I have had a couple, but to be honest you just learn to be calm and float around in the white water—there’s something peaceful about it. One time, I was surfing this reef break in Indonesia and my friend and I ran right into each other! We were fine, but surfing reefs can be a bit intimidating—they’re sharp and the waves are strong. Favorite beach sport? Surfing! Also, I love playing smashball. You’re on a boat. What’s your jam? “Sun is Shining” By Bob Marley! No better jam while you are gliding over the endless blue. What’s in your beach bag? VS bikini, old Levi’s (in case you grab a bite somewhere), sunnies, sun block, coconut oil, my book, iPod, alkaline water, my sandals and an old, worn, slight oversized white cotton shirt. Your perfect bonfire look? Some old Levi’s (I would roll up the cuffs), barefoot (or with UGGs depending on the weather), a really soft cotton worn shirt (maybe with some holes in it), an old sun-kissed flannel and my guitar. Your go-to sunbathing suit? Well, after this trip I have about 10 VS suits that are awesome, so that’s a tricky question! See Stella in action and learn what’s it’s like behind the scenes on one of our swim shoots on the Victoria’s Secret Swim Special, airing February 26, 10/9c on CBS. Can’t wait? Shop looks from the show now.

I did Stella's picture and I like the ones I picked a lot, she does have 100x times better pictures now tho, except for smile IMO it has less to do with the pictures and more to do with the fact that people who don't like X or Y model just give them low scores without even looking at the pictures, same for the ones they like.

Damn Stella is really low too o.o

^ Jac is there too, she is in another picture

I'm SO happy for Taylor, looks like she won't be the new spokesperson after all but this is amazing (Y)

Not putting aside the fact that I'm quite biased by the fact that literally my four new VS models are there which means I'll love this commercial even if it's shit All I'm missing is Stella and this gold. It is a great lineup, all the girls have a different look and add something to the table. I could see this being a new VS Angel lineup in the future. Kudos to VS for having two WOC again, it's nice to see more diversity and both Jasmine & Lais kill it in their commercials as well as print work.

TAYLOR!

That interview She is awesome

I think her body looks great and Stella is amazing for VS. She, Jac & Elsa will hopefully take over the brand that needs new faces ASAP

So her excitement was for the commercial, this is great for Sara! I'm happy VS is using her more for mainline, hopefully she'll be done with Pink now and focus on the mainline section.

I did not expect Martha to place so low o.O and I told you Malaika would be last, I knew it

^ Because she doesn't post links every two seconds for people to vote for her? Maybe she has a spot for another year secured and she doesn't give a damn about winning? She's not promoting it like at all, it's actually weird o.o We're stuck with Erin's only facial expression for at least another year, how great

^ He meant the show, not the catalog work itself. Do you really think girls like Jac, Sara & others who already have lucrative contracts with other brands would do VS just for a penny?. The only one who dropped VS for a better contract was Doutzen and it was mostly a family involved decision, everyone else has booked contracts long after they left/got dumped. Anyhow could be something, could be nothing but Taylor Hill is in Miami now too so IDK if she'll be shooting for VS or is just a coincidence.

VS does not underpay their models The VSFS does underpay or not pay at all, but catalog work? That's where the money is, there's a reason why 90% of models start their career and see VS as the ultimate goal, because it's big money + exposure that leads you to even more money. Also i don't find the lineup lackluster, I actually think Jac & Stella are among the best models VS has gotten in years. Opinions are subjective, the reality is that they must be selling really well, otherwise they wouldn't be all over VS site & etc. There's a reason why VS decided to put certain models in the Swim Special and it's because they known they sell, they already tried taking a risk with Chanel & Karlie and it didn't pay off and their HF backgrounds didn't matter. Announcing unknown girls as Angels will start creating buzz for them, y'all forget that Adriana, Alessandra, Candice, Behati & etc were no-name models before VS too and VS made them and that is a formula that clearly has worked for them better than signing HF darlings.
