March 17, 20232 yr 19 hours ago, MERPER said: ok to be clear i did not mean to ever imply she signed a VS contract out of the goodness of her heart all I am saying is that unless she has specifically said otherwise, she always struck me as being happy/content with her career choices and lifestyle whereas the original post that started this entire convo implied her career went terribly wrong from my perspective, being a big fan but not the most knowledgeable on everything candice, she just struck me as someone who was happy being with them, working less than others did, while enjoying her privacy and life with her boyfriend/husband (what happened leading to their divorce is irrelevant to this convo) and her children almost like she was always good being a loving wife/mother first, loving her privacy second, and on the side doing modeling for a major company she made the choice not to get into TV/movies or be very active on social media and I've always felt that is exactly how she wanted it to be. She just never, at any point, struck me as the kind to overly promote herself and show too much of her and her man, her letting loose, her fun personality, etc. Oh I fully agree with you on this, Candice has never stroke me as wanting to be extremely famous, she always looks annoyed in paparazzi pictures lol, but the problem is that in these day and age you have to be that famous to stay relevant in the long run, which is probably Candice's (and many others) prerogative because you want the gigs but you don't want to be parading in random events and PR stunts. And again, I think had VS worked out for the long-term run, I think she'd had stuck with that for sure. It's just unfortunate for her (and for a few other girls) that it didn't and now it's time to comeup with something else. 20 hours ago, stewpidaz said: I do think there is some truth to this, if she was busy modeling during her prime years after VS she could have been an even more successful model rather than getting caught up with the unexpected downfall of VS. Another factor I think you may be completely overlooking is her motherhood and relationship, which now that she is single she is getting back into modeling, likely trying to chase that same success and recognition she had early in her career. Anything about why she wasn’t more successful is mostly speculative. She also should start doing more of these actual studio photo shoots and runway appearances again rather than her low quality Instagram modeling for her swimsuit brand if she cares about being more successful. Then again if it wasn’t for her VS success, she wouldn’t have been able to make a profitable swimsuit brand where she overcharges based on name recognition of being a famous model (from what I can tell this is the brand, could be off I didn’t do too much research honestly) I am definitely not overlooking her relationship/motherhood, but I don't think that's something that has changed the direction of her career to be honest? We still don't see Candice acting out or getting herself in messy situations, the closest to that we've seen is the Kanye debacle and she kept her mouth quiet, did not say a single word about it, of course none of us know her personally but I just don't think Candice is that interested in being a celebrity per se, but rather a profitable model. She's still successful, probably one of the most successful models of her generation but I agree with you she should also keep diversifying herself and show different sides of her, which seems to be what she's doing so good for her. As for her brand, I have no idea about the quality but at least the designs seem good? I've never bought anything from it tho so I cannot say if they are overpriced, but I would never pay that much for a swimsuit so idk, I am probably not the target audience lol. Anyway it's all speculation, but I am glad to see her still working and doing different things. I just wish she'd try something else looks-wise, she's had the same look for such a long time and I think it'd be refreshing to see her trying something else. But then again, I get that "blonde bombshell" is her bread and butter and it would be risky for her to do something else.
March 17, 20232 yr Founded this candice swanepoel for NEW Re-Nutriv Diamond Brilliance Serum.mp4 estee lauder commercial release last year February 2022.
March 17, 20232 yr Candice overstayed her time with VS because it was comfortable and that did work out for her for a while, like a few high profile events here and there, the shoots, the exposure the brand and the show had, being one of the favorites, and she had one of the biggest contracts in VS after Adriana and Alessandra at the time, so I do agree with Clauds, Candice would still be with VS if things didn't went the way they did. Now, don't get it twisted, Candice have a pretty decent career and she still somewhat relevant, but she could have done a loooot more, like, she was getting big contracts in 2011, but VS saw how successful she was getting and probably decided give more and more shoots (which was a great move business wise, but for her career wasn't that smart), Candice got herself waaaay to absorbed in VS which was ok but exploded in her face at the very end. Candice had a big ass potential, you could see it but she got limitated with the VS contract, and after that she got kind of lost but she seems back on track now, and I love to see that.
March 18, 20232 yr Yeah there’s no doubt that Ali is doing great things for Candice and he should have great experience considering what he pulled off with Irina. It truly is remarkable what good management can pull off. I’m still upset Alessandra hasn’t reached the potential I wish for her but that’s for another thread.

Yes Irina career is going great it seems that Irina is always booked and busy! I sometimes would wish Candice was doing similar stuffS side note I’m pretty sure Irina is no longer represented by Ali and I always wonder why as they seemed to be so close.
March 18, 20232 yr Yeah she moved to The Society and no idea what happened to cause her to leave, I have an inkling suspicion they offered her a better commission rate and she thought she was big enough to not need Ali anymore.

As much as we all wants candice to stay in VS for as long as adrianna, it sucks on what VS downfall is. I hate the VS downfall actually. It sort of destroyed her career and also other Vs models at that time. And when I saw her starting TOC in 2018, I saw that her brand doesn't do much yet if an impactas compared to now, I mean evryone starts a business with zero right? And then slowly climb up the ladder. But I'm glad she's doing better now i can see her companyis doing better and better, aside from that shes getting alot of photoshoots outside like what we see now. I guess it's ok because I know that her fans and myself will still support her till the end because I believe evryone has their ups and downs in their life whether it's personal and career wise and I'm glad she didn't gave up and continue onwards despite all that happening.

Ali Kavoussi did not lie when he said they're working hard to fix everything that went wrong with her career. I'm glad Ali is doing the right thing. But sorry if I'm being like silly when did he say that ? I missed some updates
