June 10, 20159 yr The Victoria's Secret Supermodel Book Club BY JEFFREY SLONIM, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, SEPTEMBER 11, 2014, 11:15:03 AM I've been reporting on supermodels for Allure almost from day one, and I learned early on that they do, in fact, read. For years, before everyone lived on their cell phones, plenty of models would have a heady book at hand while stylists worked on their hair. And possibly to wow writers like myself, Carmen Kass read books about chess theory backstage at the shows. So on Wednesday, when Donna Karan celebrated Angels, Russell James's new coffee table book of artful nude photographs of Victoria's Secret models, I asked a number of the models who turned up about the books that have meant a lot to them. Elsa Hosk: "I love Patti Smith's Just Kids. It's so good. I've always loved her music. I was a big fan, and the book came out, and I had to read it and all of her other books. I love her. She's very smart, and she's a really strong woman. She's cool." http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2014/09/models-favorite-books.html Celebs Reveal If They Like to Be in Control You can tell a lot about people by the way they drive—are they cautious, lead-footed, or prone to road rage?—but what does it mean if they prefer to be driven? We asked celebrities at a Cartier event, a party for the Hugo Boss Prize at the Guggenheim Museum, and the Glamour Women of the Year awards whether they'd rather steer or sit back. Elsa Hosk "I drove for the first time this summer in Iceland. But it was an ATV bike with four wheels. It was so much fun. I realized why people have a license." http://www.allure.com/celebrity-trends/celebrity-quotes/2015/celebrity-driving-habits#slide=9

June 11, 20159 yr For the first year ever, the huge production that is the Victoria's Secret Runway Show is taking place in London. Yes, we're very excited about it too. And to celebrate the Angels flying in, our Online Fashion Editor Jess Edwards headed down to the flagship store to meet the newest recruit to the Angel brigade, Elsa Hosk. Elsa, a 26-year-old from Sweden who started off her career juggling modeling with playing professional basketball, was given her wings and Angel-status earlier this year and understandably can't wait to walk alongside regulars Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge, and Adriana Lima. "Oh, it was so exciting!" Elsa tells us, describing the day she found out, "I actually didn't know I was going to walk in the front segment until the day of the fitting. "My look was hanging there but I didn't know it was my look yet, so I was like, 'What is this doing here, it's obviously not mine,' and then they were like, 'Surprise! It's your look.' "I was so excited and just can't wait to walk it tomorrow." Getty But how does a girl go from playing basketball to modeling in front of millions? "It's definitely helped me so much in modeling," Elsa explained. "Just knowing how the body works and being athletic means it's easier to stay athletic while working a different job. "Just having the whole control over your body is so important when you're modeling — to just be able to know exactly what you look like and what you're doing." And how do you prepare for walking on the catwalk for what is the biggest lingerie show in the world? "I've been working out. A lot! Two hours a day for the last two weeks. "I've also been eating really healthy and just taking care of myself and being nice to myself, like letting myself sleep. And of course stepping up the workouts. "I've been doing a lot of boxing. I have a boxing trainer at a gym, which is really fun. And I also try to complement it with flybarre, which is lengthening, strengthening, toning, just tightening everything up. "It's two completely different workouts but they really work together." The pressure to look amazing must be immense but Elsa takes a view that you can't be everything to everybody at all times, so you just have to not let it get to you. "There is definitely a lot of pressure," Elsa told us. "Being a model, you're constantly judged on the way you look, but I think you have to be really strong and confident in knowing who you are and not take anything personally you know because not everybody can like you, and not everybody will think you're beautiful. "It's just not all about that. It's so much about the personality and who you are as a person." As she's often snapped in lovely lingerie, Elsa must have some great tips on how to find the perfect set: "I would just walk straight into Victoria's Secret or Pink and take your pick, there's something for everybody here," the model said. "That's what I love about this store — you can be anybody and you'll find something you love." http://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/news/a33742/elsa-hosk-tells-what-its-really-like-to-be-a-victorias-secret-angel/
