Andrew Weir and The Art of Casting The Next Model

Candice Swanepoel, Rue des Tournelles, Paris | February 28, 2011

“My team and I were in Paris when we met Candice. She had just shot Vogue Italia with Steven Meisel and I was curious to see this sexy girl who was in town for Paris collections. I will never forget meeting her; it was truly fabulous. Candice came into the office, and I immediately noticed her head-to-toe look. She was wearing a black sheer skirt over black tights, crazy high heels and a fur coat. I asked her to take a walk so I could see if she was Paris ready, and she proceeded to float across the room. I remember telling my team ‘Take note because this kind of thing doesn’t happen very often. You have just met a superstar.'”
