Another fallen Angel! Doutzen Kroes will also hang up her Angel wings and depart Victoria’s Secret, Karlie Kloss announced her deapture last week. VS’s creative director Ed Razek announced Kroes departure on Instagram writing, “After I posted the news about @karliekloss leaving VS I got a number of texts asking me why I hadn’t said anything about @doutzen leaving at the end of last year. Fair question. The simple answer is I should have. Doutzen had a lucrative opportunity in Europe and it would have conflicted with her VS obligations. So, at her agencies request, we released her from contract. There was no conflict. No animosity. None of the nonsense I’ve read on Instagram. She had a great business opportunity, and I wanted to be fair to someone I adore and respect. That’s all. I honestly believe Doutzen is one of the most stunningly beautiful people in the world. And I always will. I have told her that many times. Now you know.”
Now there is a report going around that the VS money is not as great as it used to be and the time commitment is rough. “The money isn’t what it used to be,” a source told Page Six. “Older contracts like Alessandra Ambrosio were in the millions, now they’re like $100,000.” Plus there is an abundance of new models to fill the catalogs and runway shows.
Doutzen started with VS in 2004 and got her wings in 2008. She also lends her face other brands like, L’Oreal Paris, Calvin Klein, Tiffany & Co., and Dolce & Gabbana.
