Candice Swanepoel was born in a little South African village called Mooi River, where she grew up on a dairy and beef farm. She spent her childhood surrounded by life, love, nature and family. As a little girl she always knew she wanted to do something different, something her family and she could be proud of one day. She had a passion for beauty and fashion from a very young age, so she was thrilled when a talent scout in a flea market spotted me at age 15. At the time, she was at St. Anne’s College, an all-girls boarding school where she embraced new friends and the potential of a great education.
