In her VMAN interview, Candice talks about growing up in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa, a beautiful part of South Africa, known for its beachs, mountains, tropical weather in summer, and snow in winter.

"The Zulu culture is a huge part of who I am today, and I feel privileged to have grown up with that beauty around me.”

Swanepoel says that she was nervous about the shoot -- being the only girl amid a bunch of Scandinavian boys with very little wardrobe -- but "mario put me at such ease. I felt great, and knew he would never do anything distasteful. He knows how to make a woman look and feel incredible."

Reflecting on the nature of the fashion and modeling industry, Candice says:

One of the saddest things in our industry is you get to meet the most interesting people who you connect with immediately -- you work with them for two days, and when you leave you know you might never see them again. I had this feeling leaving Copenhagen.
