My Take
What I find compelling about Candice Swanepoel is the sheer distance she traveled, from KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa to the very top of the fashion world as a Victoria's Secret Angel and an eighth-place finisher on Forbes' top-earning models list. It would be easy to reduce her to her looks, but I read her career as a study in longevity and discipline. Plenty of models flare bright and vanish; she built something durable. I respect that she became a recognizable face and brand in an industry that chews people up, and I suspect there is more business savvy behind that than she gets credit for.
