Confirmed: Karlie Kloss is Quitting Victoria's Secret:

Karlie Kloss is hanging up her angel wings for good. The supermodel has ended her contract with Victoria’s Secret, reps from the lingerie label confirmed to Us Weekly. Kloss first appeared on the famously sexy runway in 2011, and has simultaneously managed to build a career as a high-fashion model, working with designers like Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Donna Karan, Elie Saab, and appearing on multiple magazine covers.

“Karlie and I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career,” Victoria’s Secret executive Ed Razek told Us. “As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfill her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract.”

While the reason is unclear, People is reporting that Kloss is looking to focus on her fashion modeling career, and the fact that she’ll be attending NYU next fall, which she confirmed in this week in Vogue‘s March issue, on which she appeared alongside BFF Taylor Swift.

Karlie Kloss Retires From Victoria's Secret At Age 22

Karlie Kloss Retires From Victoria's Secret At Age 22:







True
Karlie Kloss quits Victoria's Secret

Karlie Kloss is exchanging her wings for … textbooks?

Yes it’s true!

The 22-year-old, who was discovered at 13 years old at a mall, has decided to pursue a college education.

Ed Razek, Executive Producer Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, confirmed on his Instagram account Friday that the model will be leaving the sexy lingerie brand.

“Karlie Kloss [and] I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career. As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfill her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract,” he posted.

The Chief Marketing Officer for Victoria’s Secret added, “Karlie is one of a kind, a very close friend, someone I truly admire and love. She is, without question, one of the best models ever. But she is an even better person. Her future is unlimited, and I am excited to see all the good she will do. Karlie Kloss will always be an Angel to me.”

Kloss, who is currently the fitness icon for Nike and the global ambassador for L’Oreal and even posed for Vogue’s March issue with her superstar best friend Taylor Swift, is officially enrolled in NYU as a full-time student for the upcoming Fall semester. Although Karlie is giving up her heavenly job, she told CBS This Morning she is not quitting modeling altogether. She’s determined to balance her career and go to school.

The Chicago native is the second VS model to leave in three months. Doutzen Kroes left at the end of last year. Razek also broke his silence on her departure, “Doutzen had a lucrative opportunity in Europe and it would have conflicted with her VS obligations.”

He added, “So, at her agencies request, we released her from contract. There was no conflict. No animosity. None of the nonsense I’ve read on Instagram. She had a great business opportunity, and I wanted to be fair to someone I adore and respect. That’s all. I honestly believe Doutzen is one of the most stunningly beautiful people in the world. And I always will. I have told her that many times. Now you know.”

Karlie Kloss Leaving Victoria's Secret

Karlie Kloss Leaving Victoria's Secret:







karlie kloss leaving victoria's secret


An Angel is losing their wings. The model is leaving Victoria’s Secret after just two years under contract with the brand to free up her time for upcoming projects — including college!

Karlie Kloss has been a staple on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway since her 2011 debut in thee annual show and officially became an Angel in 2013 — but after two years with the brand the model has decided to focus on other commitments.

Karlie Kloss Leaving Victoria’s Secret — Quitting Contract For College:

“Karlie and I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career. As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfill her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract. Karlie is one of a kind, a very close friend, someone I truly admire and love. She is, without question, one of the best models ever. But she is an even better person. Her future is unlimited, and I am excited to see all the good she will do. Karlie Kloss will always be an Angel to me.” Ed Razek, senior creative for Victoria’s Secret, said in a statement.

Although we’re sad to see Karlie hang up her wings, we weren’t surprised by the announcement — especially because Karlie is everywhere these days. “Karlie has so much going on. On top of all of her modeling jobs, she’s also going to school now,” a source close to the model told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “With her schooling the obligations just wouldn’t fit in her schedule. Contractually, it just didn’t work.”

While Karlie may be focusing on other endeavors and walking away from her Angel contract, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t return to walk in the sexy lingerie show! “It is definitely still a possibility,” the source added.

What do you think? Are you surprised to hear that Karlie is hanging up her wings for good?

Is she or is she not? Rumor has it Karlie Kloss will be leaving Victoria's Secret to focus on her other modeling endeavors and upcoming studies at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

Karlie Kloss Is Leaving Victoria's Secret To Basically Go Run The World

Karlie Kloss Is Leaving Victoria's Secret To Basically Go Run The World - MTV.com: by 2/21/2015









Karlie Kloss is hanging up her Angel wings and parting ways with Victoria’s Secret after four years with the lingerie brand, PEOPLE reported.

The 22-year-old has walked in four Victoria’s Secret fashion shows since 2011 and was officially illuminated as an Angel in 2013.

Ed Razek, Victoria’s Secret’s chief marketing officer and executive producer of the brand’s fashion shows, confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE that Kloss is clipping her wings. “Karlie and I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career. As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfill her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract.”

“She is, without question, one of the best models ever. But she is an even better person,” Razek continued. “Her future is unlimited, and I am excited to see all the good she will do. Karlie Kloss will always be an Angel to me.”

Even though we’ll miss seeing Kloss’ blinding smile and infectious energy in the VS shows — not to mention her FOMO-inducing adorableness on the runway with Taylor Swift — this definitely isn’t the last we’ll be seeing of her.

Kloss recently told Vogue — appearing on the mag’s March cover alongside Tay — that she’ll continue working as a model full-time. “I’m incredibly ambitious and have lots of goals within my career that I’m not slowing down anytime soon,” she assured us. In fact, she’s already lined up spring campaigns and ads with Kate Spade, Joe Fresh, L’Oreal Paris, and Marc Jacobs, just to name a few.

And in more news that will probably make you feel very inferior and super lazy, Kloss is planning to do all that WHILE earning her college degree. Yep, she’s been #blessed with brains AND beauty.

Kloss revealed to Vogue that she’ll be attending New York University’s School of Individualized Study next fall (fun fact: NYU alum and supermodel Christy Turlington Burns penned her recommendation letter). She said that continuing her education is “something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

Judging by her friendship with notably savvy businesswoman Taylor, as well as her constant Instagram posts about Karlie’s Kookies, her health-conscious line of baked goods, we’re guessing Kloss will be taking the business world by storm in no time.

Candice Swanepoel wears the Apple Watch on Self Cover

Candice Swanepoel wears the Apple Watch on Self Cover - I4U News:

The Apple Watch gets another magazine cover. The March edition of fitness and health magazine Self will feature Victoria's Secret angel Candice Swanepoal wearing an Apple Watch

Victoria's Secret angel Candice Swanepoel wears a white Apple Watch Sport Edition on the March cover of Self magazine. This is not the first time the Apple Watch made a magazine cover. The November 2014 issue of China's Vogue was the first one.

The Apple Watch will go on sale in April. It remains to be seen how much marketing Apple will do for the launch. Subtle product placements like on a magazine cover are great for Apple as anything Apple Watch is big news in the weeks ahead of the launch.

Candice Apple Watch

Candice Swanepoel is likely wearing the small 38mm case version of the Apple Watch. There are 34 version of the Apple Watch at launch to choose from.

Apple reportedly ordered 5 million Apple Watch units from its suppliers for the launch. The distribution of the order over the 34 combinations must be difficult. Most units will be in the Apple Watch Sport edition priced at the announced $349. Apple has still not revealed the pricing for the Apple Watch and the Apple Watch Edition collections.

The Apple Watch is predicted to become a success right out of the gate, marginalizing existing smartwatches. Apple has though then still to proof that the Apple Watch goes beyond its massive early adopter consumer base into the mainstream.

The main drivers for the adoption of the Apple Watch are its communication features including sending taps and emojis. Apple had to make cuts in the health and fitness features as current technology did not live up to Apple's quality standards. The biggest barrier for the Apple Watch adoption beyond early adopters is the need to recharge every day.

What We Want Right Now: Candice Swanepoel's New Capsule for Mother

What We Want Right Now: Candice Swanepoel's New Capsule for Mother - InStyle:

Sipa USA
February 19, 2015 @ 1:47 pm



It makes sense that an Angel would have holy, err, holey jeans. Victoria’s Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel teamed with L.A. denim brand Mother for her first-ever turn as a designer, creating a ’90s-inspired capsule collection filled with denim pants and shorts (and cheeky tops that says “I Want to Swim in the Swanepoel“), out this month. “Wearing so many different styles throughout the years has given me a special insight on what looks good and what doesn’t,” the model told InStyle during the launch party in New York last week, where she modeled the “Angel With 100 Wings” ankle fray bottoms ($196). “These give you this girl-next-door look, like ‘I woke up like this,’ but not really.”

RELATED: What Candice Swanepoel Wanted for Valentine’s Day

Our fave: The “Hijacking the Runway” slouchy roll-ups ($220). Each is hand-sanded, tinted for a sun-dried look, then finished with holes on the knees, pockets, waistband, and hem. “The holes are individually made by hand with a special sanding wheel,” explained Tim Kaeding, designer and co-founder of Mother. “It requires a very skilled person to do this process whereby only the top layer is removed exposing a bottom layer of threads.”

Time Inc. Digital Studios
The South African model loves them, too, of course: “There’s something both playful and sexy about distressed denim,” she said. “There are times when I prefer to wear clean denim and other instances when I want something a little more roughed up, but either way I can safely say that denim is my go-to outfit if I’m in doubt of what to wear.” And she wants women to have that feeling, too. “As long as a woman feels confident, sexy and cool in her denim then it doesn’t really matter what fit she goes with,” she said.

Bonus: A percentage of proceeds from the sale of each item benefits Mothers2Mothers, which helps fight pediatric AIDS. Added Swanepoel, “It’s nice to be able to contribute in my own little way.” Visit motherdenim.com to see the rest of the collection.

WOW Candice Swanepoel nearly quit modelling

Candice Swanepoel nearly quit modelling - Sunday World:

Candice Swanepoel nearly quit modelling

Candice Swanepoel nearly quit modelling when she was told to lose weight.

The Victoria's Secret angel was so distraught when she was advised to slim down to book jobs that she considered giving up on a career in modelling altogether.

The blonde beauty, who moved from South Africa to Europe after being discovered in a flea market aged 15, said: "Every day, I was working with different people who were speaking different languages, so I was never able to form any relationships. I just wanted to go home.

"I was so used to people criticizing me for being too thin that it was shocking to me. I was crying."

Candice, 26, who became a Victoria's Secret angel in 2010, also shared the secret behind her slender frame and confessed she works out in the gym like an "athlete" to ensure she feels strong enough to strike her best pose on set.

She told Self magazine: "I'm up and on-set pretty early, usually by 5 a.m.

"I do a lot of swimwear, so for the best light, we try to get the sunrise and sunset.

"I'm an athlete. I use every single muscle, especially my core and arms, when I pose. It's so important for me to feel strong."

The South African-born star insists she is used to early mornings after spending her childhood watching her father working on a dairy farm.

She explained: "I saw my dad wake up at 4 every morning to milk the cows. I'd put on my overalls and gum boots and follow him around."
