admin — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:08:45 +0000

Doutzen Kroes is seriously putting the super into supermodel! Just six weeks after giving birth to her son Phyllon, she is already heading back to work. A few days ago, Doutzen announced via Twitter that she was prepping for her comeback. Now, Doutzen is in LA to shoot a commercial for L’Oreal. She says: Hello LA;) my first workday since a long time tomorrow #l’oreal Doutzen is steadily tweeting through the shoot, even posting a picture of herself breast feeding her son! What is with these Victoria’s Secret girls and maternal Twitter photos? At the rate Doutzen is going, she’ll surely be back in fighting form to walk the runway for Victoria’s Secret later this year.

Doutzen Kroes asks husband for perfume tips

Doutzen Kroes gets her husband to pick her perfume.

The Dutch model and Victoria’s Secret Angel wed DJ Sunnery James in November last year. The two are very close, and she often asks his opinion when it comes to choosing outfits and hair and make-up looks. Sunnery is particularly good at picking up scents, so Doutzen always leaves it to him.

“I asked my husband to choose a fragrance that he loves on me, as I obviously want to smell good for him,” she laughed.

Doutzen explained she rarely leaves home without a bottle of fragrance in her bag as she likes to spritz herself with it throughout the day. Her bag also contains her favourite mascara and lipstick, as well as her iPod which she wouldn’t be able to manage without.

“I have plenty of eyelashes – they just need lengthening. L’Oréal Paris Telescopic mascara is perfect, as it separates and makes them look longer,” she told InStyle.

“My iPod is also always in my bag as it helps me relax. There’s everything from Beyoncé to house music on there. I’m always the one offering to play my iPod at dinner parties!”

Doutzen Kroes: a model making her own mold

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:53:14 +0000

Doutzen Kroes might not fit the mold of a top model.
She’s a jeans-and-T-shirt girl. She likes — and eats — bread. She wasn’t discovered in a remote place by a famous scout or photographer. And at 25, she has curves that have kept her off a lot of high fashion runways.
But somehow, none of that matters.
Kroes ranked No. 5 this year on the Forbes list of top-earning models. She’s most recognized as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, the brand’s top tier of models, a spokeswoman for L’Oreal and the former face of Calvin Klein Eternity.
“My life has always been like I’m in a bubble and it’s floating and it goes in the right direction,” Kroes says. “I don’t want to interrupt it.”
It was Kroes, a Dutch native, who got the ball — or bubble — rolling. As a teenager, she saw a magazine photo of a model and she thought to herself, “She has beautiful hair, beautiful makeup, a beautiful dress, and I thought I’d like to look like that one day.”
Her sister took photos and Kroes sent them off to a modeling agency in Amsterdam, a place she rarely visited as a self-described “country girl.” Kroes’ passion until then had been competitive speed skating.
Other than her sister, no one knew about her new high-fashion ambition.
“I didn’t tell anybody that I sent the pictures because I’d be embarrassed if I didn’t get the job,” she says.
Apparently she didn’t need to worry with her long blond hair, blue eyes and Brigitte Bardot look. She relocated to New York within a year.
Kroes has a “modern style,” describes L’Oreal’s international general manager Vianney Derville, who also says the model is “blessed with an excellent sense of professionalism and a natural elegance.”
On most days, you’ll still find her in jeans, T-shirt and flat shoes, but she likes stepping it up for a night out. At last month’s Costume Institute Gala Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kroes was the date of designer Zac Posen, wearing a princess-worthy blue gown that they collaborated on. For the Cannes Film Festival a few days later, she wore a glamorous Grecian-style gown with a plunging neckline by Roberto Cavalli.
Next week, she’ll present the popular-vote award at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Hollywood-style awards show.
Kroes is outspoken about her feminine, curvy figure and how it’s cost her jobs. She was a panelist for the CFDA’s round-table discussion about too-skinny models and says she hasn’t done as much runway work as she’d like because she doesn’t always fit the sample size.
“I have to work really hard. My body — I have a voluptuous body. I am not one of those skinny girls. I like to enjoy life,” she says.
Her shape has served her well when it comes to Victoria’s Secret. Still, in the lead up to the big Victoria’s Secret runway show she’ll temporarily give up the bread, cheese and chocolate that she loves.
“I am a totally healthy girl that eats but eats in moderation and I take care of myself.”

Forbe’s top earning models

This year, Doutzen is placed number 5 on Forbe’s Top Earning Models.

Though her contract with DeBeers lapsed, the 24-year-old promptly replaced it with a campaign for jeans company Seven For All Mankind. The Dutch model known for her lips was named the latest Victoria’s Secret angel last fall. Doutzen is also the face of cosmetic company L’Oreal and the fragrance Calvin Klein Eternity.

Doutzen talks about her body

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 14:03:36 +0000

Doutzen explained that it was no good just cutting out food from your diet and starving yourself if you wanted to look good on the catwalk. The bright lights and zoom lenses are merciless and therefore you need to be toned and in good physical shape to look perfect in the lingerie. She said therefore that she gets lots of exercise including skipping which tones up the buttock muscles in preparation for Victoria’s Secret catwalk shows.
