December 28, 20159 yr So much content from this remarkable model. And I just thank our lucky stars that it keeps coming. Thank you, Josephine, for an AMAZING 2015!
December 29, 20159 yr So did any HQ photos of these candids come out? (St. Barths Swim photoshoo) I mean every other VS model had the HQ versions, why not Josephine?
December 29, 20159 yr I found an interview Jo did with GQ from ages ago and I don't remember it being posted: http://www.gq.com.au/gq+girls/girl+of+the+week/gq+instagram+woman+of+the+week+josephine+skriver+,38141 Quote GQ caught up with our Instagram Woman of the Week – the intelligent, compassionate Josephine Skriver. GQ: How did you get into modelling? Josephine Skriver: Funnily enough, I was actually discovered on the streets of Manhattan at the age of 15 and not in Denmark. I was there for a soccer tournament, and I guess someone saw potential in the dorky girl with long skinny legs! I was always taller than everyone else but never considered modeling until then. Just goes to show that you never know when life is going to take you in a different direction and that everything happens for a reason. GQ: How has Instagram helped your career? Social media has been a total game changer for models. It allows us to communicate with our friends and take people along for the ride with us. It helps you to build your own brand and to show the world who we are as people, not just as the faces you see from our jobs! . GQ: What about the highest point of your career? I've been lucky enough to have had many awesome moments. Some of my favorites including closing the Prada show, walking in the two Victoria Secret's fashion shows, getting the Tom Ford fragrance campaign and my YSL skincare campaign. It's still so surreal to see my face in places I never expected – I still blush and get so shy about it! My job allows me to see the world and work with such kind and talented people, which really does make every day a high point. GQ: What has been the lowest point of your career? Every time I don't get a campaign or a show I wanted I, of course, get down for a moment like anyone else would... But I have realized that these low points are just as important as the high ones. They help me gain perspective and motivate me to wake up the next day and to work hard and kick ass! GQ: What was your upbringing like? I truly feel like I have the best family in the world. They are the kindest, hardest working, most supportive and open-minded people I have ever come across. I am a very lucky girl to have had them around to help me grow into the woman I am today. GQ: With i-D/Vice, you discussed the idea of you being a ‘rainbow kid’, having been raised by a gay mother and gay father who came together specifically to have children. What message would you want to convey to our Australian readers about your experience? The whole point I try to make is that family is family. Family comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes. A loving family is defined by just that... LOVE. Not by sexual orientation, gender, or background. GQ: What makes a model good at his or her job? Being a model is all about confidence. You have to believe in yourself. You have to be able to become a chameleon and bring your client's ideas to life while still bringing your personality to the table and letting that shine through as well. GQ: What are your life goals? My life goal is happiness. As much as I love modeling, I do not believe that your life is defined by what you do. It is defined by who you are first and foremost. I'm a simple girl, so I just follow my smile. GQ: What are you most passionate about? My biggest passions in life are standing up for equality and traveling. From supporting LGBQT families to climbing mountains... I just want to do all I can to help people around me and to push myself to always be the best version of who I am. I'm always looking forward to the next adventure (Hoping to go to Antarctica soon, in fact) – people think I'm crazy and I love that! You have to be a little crazy in life or you aren't living it right. GQ: What’s one piece of advice all men need to hear? Don't be who you think people want you to be... be who you want to be. It's so important in life to be yourself. People will fall in love with you for it. I promise. GQ: What’s your number one style tip for men? Keep it simple and don't try too hard. You don't want your clothes to distract people from what's underneath. You should be wearing your outfit. Don't let your outfit wear you. GQ: What's the biggest misconception people have about you? That being a model is who I am and not just what I do. I think its important that people remember what you do is not who you are. Yes, I model, but there is so much more to me. I'm a total nerd. I would rather talk about science and recite quotes from Step Brothers than talk about fashion. GQ: What piece of advice would you give your eighteen year old self? Stop worrying… your boobs will come soon [laughs]. GQ: What makes this life worth living? The people in my life. My family and friends. Always makes sure to surround yourself with people who make you the best version of yourself. You never know what's around each corner and what adventure will come next, but you do get to decide on who will be next to you when you find out. THAT is what makes this life worth living. Wonder if she's telling us something with this one... Quote GQ: What piece of advice would you give your eighteen year old self? Stop worrying… your boobs will come soon [laughs].

Thanks for the adds though It was randomly in their VS server, just like a few other random shots from the other Angels. It was kind of a street style.
