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.

How could we know that Candice isn't very versatile while she made nothing important in the HF? It will be necessary to give her a chance before judging her.

Then, about the "art to modeling", effectively, I don't really believe in it. "Art" is a very tarnished word.

    Actually... very early in her career she did. And if you read my post a little a better you would've seen I said she had great potential BUT she got very used to just having to be sexy and I doubt she's going to revert anytime soon. As for "the art of modeling", there's a reason Playboy models aren't asked to model Valentino... Beauty is in the eye of beholder, therefore there has to be some intractable talent attached to being a model (especially in HC).

    There are plenty of gorgeous girls in the world who can't be models. Know why? Because they have no idea what to do in front of a camera. Being a model includes being able to be multi-faceted in front of a camera, hence there being some skillset/talent to it; that's what I meant by "art". In HC, there's so much to do with your body, with your face, to create emotion, create an atmosphere, to create a canvas to sell the clothing... Arching your back and looking sexy is only a tiny part of in the grand scheme of HC. Candice has been in his 'sexy' bubble for so long, that I don't know if she knows how to get out of it.

    She probably doesn't want to. That's her prerogative. All I'm saying is that having a pretty face/body isn't enough to cut it in a field of modeling where it takes that extra spark of creativity to really get a designers/photographers attention.
