Crossing Over

Blond bombshell Candice Swanepoel of Victoria's Secret fame has continued her high fashion crossover at the Fall/Winter 2011 shows with electrifying appearances at Dolce & Gabanna, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Fendi, Blumarine, Elie Saab, Viktor & Rolf and Isabel Marant. Swanepoel's transition marks an ongoing trend within modelling which has seen models like Izabel Goulart, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Rosie Huntington-Whitely who were previously  recognised for their work with more commercial end clients, now being embraced by high fashion magazine editors, designers, and photographers. South African born Swanepoel has been modelling since 2005 and was photographed most recently by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia and Mario Testino for VMan.
