I walked past a VS store today and I realized that it had transformed into the "Candice Swanepoel Semi-Annual Sale Store".

the 1st and 2nd photos are from Russel James facebook.

Russell James - V2 Book. Cover Brooklyn Decker and Candice Swanepoel.

A very, very early peak at my new book 'V2' by teNeues which comes out in the fall.

I shot it on Richard Branson's home Necker Island with the 'top 8' girls in the world.

I am excited and nervous.

Have attached the identities of 2 of the 8 girls - Brooklyn Decker (Cover) and Candice Swanepoel.

I did a series on each of the 8 girls and will reveal the identities and a shot of each of my subjects shortly....

Identity revealed of one of the girls in my book.

Candice Swanepoel.

Candice was actually the first girl I shot for the book and her series was what inspired me to shoot an entire book in the weeks that followed.

She is going to be a big part of the world of beauty and fashion in the coming years -a rare talent and great person.

Candice series inside the book is inspired by the trees on the edge of a beach on the North shore of Necker Island.

I have written about that shoot in detail in the book because it really was 'the moment' the idea to create V2 occurred.

I've got one more to add, a preview from Russel's new book V2....which I will really want to get...

Victoria Secret PINK Fall Lounewear Collection.

those are soo cute

Sometimes (or everytime), I really don't understand why HF brands don't use much more the VS models like Candice. She is just so beautiful and perfect!! In my opinion, she is more breathaking than the models who land the major campaigns or walk the runway. And I'd like to see her in something other and different than VS (even if I love her in Pink). She is more versatile!

Because being a HF model isn't always about looking 'perfect'. Believe it or not, there is an art to modeling... and as pretty as Candice is she isn't very versatile and really is a 'one' look type of a model. Once upon a time, before she got super popular (and VS got their hands on her), there was plenty of potential in her, but she's learned she can rely on simply looking hot rather than doing much else.

PrettyPhile- YES. i posted them ages ago. but nevermind, thanks anyways.

&& i agree with Ana BB fan- most high fashion models are not the most beautiful, they are unique and interesting and have eye-catching features. Candice is too blonde & i dunno..she would just stand out... when she was brunette she started off doing runway's like Betsy Johnson & stuff...and she fitted in. But does she need to book all the lastes fashion campaigns? NO. she is working for VS. which im sure pays her just fine.

I agree. I wish HF brands would use more VS-type models, especially Candice.

Whoever said that HF is more about looking interesting and art than looking necessarily mainstream attractive, definetly. But the thing is, at least to me, most high fashion models are not interesting looking...they're average. And if they are interesting looking, it's not in a pleasant way. Very few high fashion models have intrigued me...Lily Cole is an example...whenever I see her I can't stop staring at her and I don't know why.

A lot of VS models are just mainstream attractive and therefore not that intriguing/interesting, but I disagree that Candice is one of them. Candice looks like she was manufactured in a lab somewhere. She has the perfect proportions for everything. Her waist to hip ratio, the averageness of her face (Not in terms of quality, but in terms of size and positioning of facial features...scientists have discovered that the more "average" facial features are, the more attractive a person is universally. Candice has the perfect average face). The short torso, long legs combination. The thin without being bony physique, with lack of flab and cellulite.

All of those features themselves are common and uninteresting, but to find them all in the single person is very rare. I have yet to see it on anyone besides Candice, and to me, that makes her very intriguining.

As for versitility, she's not the best model, but she can do high fashion. She's done it before. She can also do cute, and sexy.

PrettyPhile- YES. i posted them ages ago. but nevermind, thanks anyways.

They were posted between 30 and 50 pages ago, and only 3 of them were posted. Also as a side note, they were taken by Leon Gorman.. always nice to credit where things come from.

I'm not really talking about her looks though. I'm talking about her modeling ability.

She's unreal!!!!

I know this gonna sound dumb, but I was wondering if any of you guys know how to save pics from the VS website? There are some pics there that I didn't find in this thread that I wanted to save but disn't know how. If you could point me to a thread that explains that would be great. Thanks

You need to have the code for the pictures. To get the code:

Go to the page with the picture. Now you can do 2 things:

1. Click size chart. This should bring up a new small window. In that window, click Larger View. Now you can get the vs tag either by saving that small picture or by inspecting.

2. View the source page info by right clicking on the page and click 'View Source'. You get a new window, press CTRL-F and search for JPG. First hit is the code for that picture.

Copy that code and use this link for larger view:

But replace the last bit with the tag of your choice.

Thanks so much
