Hope this beauty will get the final callback

SHE DID!!  I don't have the image to prove it BUT she has apparently confirmed this to an IG account through DM. Also her boyfriend's mom congratulated her on it so I'd say it's safe to say she got the callback. Here's to hoping she makes the show!! TBH my expectations aren't too high since she doesn't really walk shows often but who knows, she definitely has the VS look!

In a DM to a fan, Roosmarijn de Kok confirmed that she will be casting this year! (source) 

thanks for all the updates, she looks really good!!

In a DM to a fan, Roos confirmed that she will be doing the VSFS casting again this year  (source). Last year she did the casting for the first time, she got to the second round but she didn't make the cut unfortunately. I hope she gets it this year!!

Sadly only a few were good resolution:

Bonus Instagram pictures:

@elfstone omg no! What do you mean by backing them up? Just rehosting them on a different website? I'll make sure to download everything from this thread though!!

I forgot to take a screenshot but on snap she had a picture with the SI Swimsuit casting thing on there, the caption was "that time of the year" IIRC. This is her 3rd time doing the casting so I hope shell get it although she doesn't really fit the brand IMO but it would be good promo! 

@kissmonserrat thanks for the new Fandecie, she looks cute (but that photoshop in some of the images isn't lol, but that's the industry I guess)

Some of you might remember that she did a new shoot for Everything But Water at the Bahamas a while ago! These are the first images, but I am expecting that more will come soon!

@elfstone and @serge_richemond the other girl is Georgia Fowler-Evans! 

Thank you all for the updates, she looks so amazing!!!!!  

I just found this editorial, I am blown away:

ELLE CHINA

"Romance out of the Blue" 

Starring Roosmarijn de Kok and Lee Hyun-jin (Korean actor who's famous in China).

edition: 2017, I think the first edition of January? IDK apparently the Chinese ELLE is released every two weeks

Here's two new pics of Roos taken by Noe DeWitt: 

Also I found this super old picture of Roos online, this was in 2011, so she must have been like 16 in this picture I think. (She's in the center left btw, wearing a green and white striped top). It's from a field hockey club's party (for some reason those parties used to be very popular amongst Dutch kids aged 14-16 haha, even by ones that didn't play field hockey). 

Shooting for VS again a while back (BTS): 

Thanks for the updates y'all! She looks so good! 

at the NYFW Roos did a third show which I didn't know about until like recently, but I managed to find some pics:

Asaf Ganot FW17 RTD @ NYFW

Here's a LINK to a video of the show as well, Roos appears at approx 3.15 and at the end in the lineup. She could work on her walk btw she moves her head a lot but yeah I like the look at least! 

Here's Roosmarijn's new showcard from the Wilhelmina FW 2017 show package:

Thanks for the new VS sport! She looks good

Today Roos walked a show at the NYFW! This is legit the first show she has done in YEARS, so I was not expecting this at all! TBH I thought she would just never walk a show ever again. But this is cool, I hope she does other shows this fashion week as well!

Cushnie et Ochs 

Ready To Wear FW 2017/2018 at NYFW February 10, 2017 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm

She doesn't look amazing in all of the pics, but I think that's just this show honestly. I also saw pics of some other models, and they didn't look good at all either in some of them (Lais looked like she had a double chin for instance). 

Here's also a video link for whoever wants to watch the show: http://fashionweekonline.com/event/cushnie-et-ochs-live-stream-fw17

She appears at 2:25 - 2:47 and a couple of times after 7:18 while walking in the final lineup. 

@elfstone haha I posted that video a while ago! actually that is even my upload of the video to YouTube. It's such a weird video though, but Roos looks cute (she was like 19 in that vid)

I just found this article written by Roos's Health & Wellness Consultant Joe Holder in Dec 2016! It is about a certain technique he used for Roos's training. Might be interesting to see what it takes for her to get in that shape  I just pasted the article here in case it gets taken down, but there's a link below if you want to read it at the original website!

The Curious Case of Controlled Catabolism

Recapping ’16 with an quick deep dive into exploring how we created success with one of my clients, Roosmarijn de Kok and met her wellness goals

 

“Your body fat percentage won’t change..but you’ll still meet your goals”

I work out of a facility that is centered around body composition, which isn’t a typical approach for boutique gyms.

Roosmarijn de Kok (aka Roos), was no typical client, so it seemed fitting that she would seek out an non traditional training style. As a rising model here in NYC, Roos came to me with goals I often hear as a trainer: tone specific areas, lose weight (~10 lbs), etc. However, there were a few issues with these requests:

 

  1.   Roos was by all objective standards, thin. Upon completing her body composition examination via Inbody I was given this shape, which means that her weight and muscle mass were in symmetry and her body fat was pretty low. You typically don’t try to fix which isn’t really broken.

  2.   She couldn’t move. At All. We laugh about this now but in all seriousness, this was a major issue. When she squatted, I could immediately tell why she complained of knee pain due to a squat that was front loaded but had no hip extension. When I tested her core, I could immediately tell why she had back pain. This lack of mobility         was a primary reason certain areas wouldn’t “tone up”. Roos’ muscles simply weren’t awake and being utilized properly.

 

So, I had to explore this from a few avenues:

 -  Roos had to move better. It didn’t have to be textbook, but improvement was a must (corrective)

 -  Which would then cause her work capacity to increase (performance).

 -  Additionally I had to make sure she lost weight (body composition)

 -  All the while, ensuring she worked within a deficit that did not impair her recovery/performance/mental well-being(nutrition/wellness).

 

I had some work cut out for me but was excited.

Most people often go right to the thought of attacking body fat when exploring weight reduction. However for women (especially when they are already healthy and/or within that “athletic” range for body fat percentage), gross reduction and the impact it can have on the female athlete can be troublesome. Additionally, the importance of fat in vitamin storage, cell membrane functioning, mood, etc is key. For this reason, sometimes you tell people they actually need to put ON fat.

 

The case against attacking only body fat

 -  Likelihood of success based on data was low.

 -  The role of fat in women is too important to mess with if they are already low (Female Triad)

 -  Body fat mass, since it was so low, would not do much in terms of overall mass reduction

 

Gathering this data led me to the realization that it was more important to keep her muscle/body fat at the proper ratio (that J shape) than to seek just a reduction in body fat percentage as that could only happen a.) strong drop in body fat (unlikely as it was already so low) b.) increase in muscle mass (client’s goals weren’t in line with this).

So, while her body fat overall may slightly reduce, the other numbers that are taken into consideration when dealing with body fat percentage (Total Body Water, Dry Lean Mass) would have to change in accordance with body fat so a relative homeostasis was kept in terms of her percentage while she was losing weight. If she was going to lose weight, it would have to come from the following areas:

 

 -  Reduction of muscle mass (but not at expense of performance, well-being, or strength. Have anthropomorphic augmentation similar to a distance athlete, not just due to prolonged inactivity)

 -  Reduction of fat mass

 -  Prevention of edema (problematic water retention often result of improper recovery, diet,etc.)

 

After the initial process of fixing her movement patterns (addressing adductor restriction, glute inactivity, hip stabilization/strength, and general core control will go a long way) so performance could improve, we then still had to augment body composition in a noticeable way. This led me to think of controlled catabolism coupled with a trick used in triathlete and endurance training.

 

The Case for Controlled Catabolism

Catabolism has a bad connotation but the process of catabolism and anabolism is consistently taking place at all times in the body to maintain a baseline and also, dependent upon the individual, create physiological changes. These two together compose what people colloquially understand as metabolism. In short, catabolism breaks down things like food or polymers (starch to a simpler sugar) so the body can quickly use it as energy and also engage in the anabolic activities, like repair and maintenance of existing tissues.

Roos was losing mass, which meant that she entered a net catabolic zone via controlled and not severe caloric restriction. (However, this didn’t put Roos in the much chagrined “catabolic state” that is often lamented about and more associated with sickness.)

So Roos, needed to be put in a controlled catabolic state that would not hinder her overall health. This meant creating a framework outside of the gym that would ensure she met her goals. We then approached performance/fitness, wellness, and nutrition in a systematic fashion as laid out below.

 

Performance/Fitness

Apply a performance hack utilized in endurance athletes that help them improve body composition but does not impair their athletic performance in a negative way — train harder in evening (when strength/anaerobic activity can be enhanced due to increase in body temp ) in a non totally depleted carbohydrate state for about an hour, replenish for recovery but not for glycogen (carb reduced refueling), and then perform low intensity activity (base cardio w/sauna) in the AM in this carb reduced state. It’s an augmentation of one of the various “train low” protocols and one of the few that has seen success in research models. It’s a hybrid model of the green and red below.

 -  Overall NEAT would have to be up. Walkable cities (like NYC) make non-leisure physical activity much more likely and is a prime example of how we can augment the environment to create behavioral changes. Increasing your fitness doesn’t have to take place just in the gym and Roos was getting around 10,000 steps a day in addition to other activity.

 

Nutrition

Every day couldn’t be in a wild deficit. Constant dieting (which is why it doesn’t work and weight is often regained) is linked to an increase in cortisol levels which will make it exceedingly difficult, especially if someone is already lean, to go from their desire of good to great regarding body comp

 

Nutrient dense but not calorically rich foods. Think lean or fiber rich plant based protein sources, dark leafy greens, low sugar fruit, etc. This one in theory is easiest but individual has to get used to understanding difference between not being full and actually being hungry which is difficult when our access to food is so easy and connected to so many other things besides actual hunger.

 

Hydration. One of the underlying causes of unnecessary water retention is not drinking enough water. Consistent dehydration has compounding effects and will effect everything from energy levels to nutrient delivery. Adding dandelion root/leaf, lemon, and cranberry to your water also has some anecdotal evidence and early preliminary research to back it.

 

Magnesium — subclinical deficiencies can go hidden and since magnesiumis crucial in not just exercise performance but also sleep and energy regulation getting enough of this mineral is a priority.

 

Wellness

 

Meditation/Breathing. Roos had to chill. Between workouts, professional responsibilities, and a personal life one can only handle so much. Many don’t realize that weight is lost through respiration so if breathing is off this can cause issues. Additionally, managing the body’s response to stressis vital. Stress as an objective measure is necessary if you want to improve. Now, what is important is if your body recognizes it as distress or eustress, which can be partially a subjective reaction. Utilizing breathing/mindfulness strategies can assist in this practice as well as generally just taking the time to check in with yourself throughout the day.

 

Sleep. No hyperbole, none of this could have been accomplished without sleep. Sleep, while overwhelmingly bland, has been considered the secret weapon in performance circles forever.

During sleep the release of HGH for repair, controlling of stress (cortisol is necessary but too much can cause issues), and keeping hormones regulated that are associated with hunger is super key. With working out hard at night and knowing a morning workout would often be following, utilizing magnesium, hydrating, making sure to eat but most importantly sleep to finish the recovery process is vital.

 

Key Takeaways:

So, we got Roos to where she wanted to be. More importantly she had a mental frame shift that provoked an improvement in overall wellness and general body composition even when not in full “training” mode. A succinct takeaway is as follows

 -  Create a framework for success that lives outside of the training facility

 -  Look outside of your direct vertical for empirical data and inspiration to achieve goals

 -  Have a roadmap based in data. If you don’t know where you are you can’t really decide the best place you need to be

 -  Make it as easy as possible to follow (not the same as making it easy to do, still gotta earn it).

 

At end, it all game down to Roos buying in. If the athlete doesn’t trust you and won’t buy in to the plan, no matter how good it is, it won’t work. So big ups to her, ’cause she worked much harder than most.

Roosmarijn de Kok's boyfriend wrote that she got a callback on Instagram, pretty exited for her! 

Revolve

Lookbook: "Looks we love: Most wanted" 

(excuse the shitty image quality, I always hate revolve for this haha)

North Sails

Roos shot a lookbook for North Sails quite long ago, but I only could find this image of it:

TOM FORD

Roosmarijn is "The TOM FORD Face 2016"! Great news!

They only released like one video where she appears in yet for TF Beauty, but we know she shot clothes as well so I'll guess we have to wait for those (here's a small preview video from instagram though, http://www.instagrabbr.com/image/tomford/1332864676316824429_700681702). 

TF Beauty:

Thanks for all the updates! She's so cute for Free People. 

Also I'm so happy she got to do the VSFS casting!!!!! I know there's like 500 girls doing it but anyway! And she got a callback (source: her BF on Instagram)!!!! Not bad for someone who has never walked a major fashion show! 

Anyway here's more for VS:

Victoria Secret Mainline/Lingerie

I think this whole discussion about her body doesn't really make sense, she might not have the biggest breasts/ass/hips, but a lot of models don't, even very successful ones (e.g. Romee Strijd). I mean, Roosmarijn has the same proportions as Miranda Kerr (body 32-24-34, shoe size 39; granted Miranda is 1 inch shorter (5'9 vs 5'10) (who has been voted "most beautiful person" multiple times and is in the top 10 of highest paid models) and y'all are complaining she doesn't look good enough? But anyway I will respect you guys's opinion, no hate  

Anyway here's Roos for VS Pink, this time with blonde hair. Because of the hair she reminds me of Gigi in some images, but that might just be me.
