Giving a preview of what’s to come, Candice Swanepoel works her magic in the new Spring 2011 preview for Victoria’s Secret.
The sexy South African looks nothing short of amazing in the recently released photo collection and while she’s barely wearing anything, she wears it well.
In a recent interview, Candice revealed the major contrast between her upbringing and her current lifestyle as a top model.
“I grew up on a huge dairy-and-cattle farm, my world of adventure. South Africa is a unique and mysterious place it does have its share of problems, but that is part of our character. The state I live in is called KwaZulu-Natal, one of the most beautiful parts of South Africa: we had the beach, the mountains, tropical weather in summer, and snow in winter. The Zulu culture is a huge part of who I am today, and I feel privileged to have grown up with that beauty around me.”
When she was a teenager, Candice finally ventured away from home. “I was 15 when I went to London for the first time. I had never taken a flight, I didn’t even know what a subway was there were so many things I had to learn; it was a brave step for me, and for my parents to let me go, but I was so excited to experience the world that I didn’t care what it took. I had grown up my entire life on my farm and spent four years at boarding school, but I always knew there was so much more to see and I wanted to do it all on my own. I’m a very independent person, and achieving what I have alone feels so much more rewarding.”
