Taylor Hill and Elsa Hosk, two of the newest members of the Victoria’s Secret Angels flock, take the spotlight on the September 2015 issue of FASHION Magazine, on newsstands and iPad August 10, 2015. The Angels open up about their supermodel journey, including modeling for top designers, how they’ve grown up in the industry, their views on social media and more in the below excerpts from FASHION’s exclusive interview:
On not having a typical high school experience:
“Thank God I didn’t get to go [to prom] – I feel like I got to skip a lot of personality-damaging things from high school.” – Taylor Hill
On learning life lessons from the modeling industry:
“You are taught to respect your elders, not to speak out and to do as you’re told. But I found out really quick that it’s important in this industry—and in life—to speak up.” – Taylor Hill
On how sports have helped her career:
“It made me a team player and it’s easier to adapt to the world of posing. When I model, I use every single muscle in my body. Being fit and physical lets me know that control.” – Elsa Hosk
On social media and self-expression:
“These days, models are allowed to have bigger personalities and be celebrities on their own. We have platforms now on social media, [so] there’s a way for us to get our faces and messages out there, especially with VS—they encourage that.” – Elsa Hosk
