Candice Swanepoel: "Bottletop changed me"

EN Fashion - Candice Swanepoel is overjoyed to be a part of the "life changing" charity Bottletop.

The Victoria's Secret Angel is one of many fashion stars who support the work the company does, headed up by Cameron Saul and Oliver Wayman. The brand's latest project is a bag collection created in Bahia, Brazil, by local women which enables them to support themselves and their families.

Candice was sent on location to Brazil to shoot the latest campaign, with Narciso Rodriguez lending his talents to the design of the bag that incorporates ring pulls of canned drinks.

"The time we spent at the Bottletop atelier was really special. It was amazing to meet the team and see the incredible work that is being done there," Candice gushed to vogue.co.uk.

"They work closely with the design team in Paris to create the new styles each season. The level of detail is stunning! The atelier is set up in one of Brazil's toughest neighbourhoods and the training programme has been life changing for those people who have taken part. It's an amazing project and I'm excited to watch it grow."

Aside from her Bottletop duties, the South African model feels a strong affiliation with Brazil. She refers to the country as her second home, and it's where her long term love Hermann Nicoli hails from.

Getting the chance to shoot there was a dream job for the blonde beauty, who says the atmosphere on set was relaxed and fun.

"The shoot was wonderful. The location was a stunning contemporary beach house designed by one of Bahia's leading architects with lots of glass walls and light, which is perfect for shooting. We were lucky that the sun shone!

"We had a DJ playing electronic dance music all afternoon to keep our energy and spirits high and I think you can tell we had a great time by the quality of the images," she smiled.
