1Victoria’s Secret loses its two key angels, as Karlie Kloss and veteran Doutzen Kroes leaves the brand, some more will follow suit according to industry insider as it doesn’t pay medels as much as it used to.

Modeling for Victoria’s Secret is notoriously demanding, and led to former Angel Miranda Kerr leaving to work on other projects. While Kloss is leaving to study at NYU, while Kroes reportedly has lucrative opportunities in Europe.

Victoria’s Secret hires about 10 models to act as “Angels” that represent the brand. The spots are coveted because they offer unprecedented exposure in the industry.

Angel Miranda Kerr left the brand in 2013 amid reports that the lingerie brand was too demanding.

Earning a spot walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is a highly complicated and political process.
