Chief Market reports that Candice will be part of a panel formed by different female leaders in a partnership with VISA and The Shows.
On Sept. 7, Visa will be teaming up with The Shows to curate a panel of female leaders from a cross section of industries and backgrounds who are reimagining retail experiences for their own respective brands. Moderated by Reilly, the panelists include: Candice Swanepoel, model and founder of Tropic of C; Aurora James, founder and creative director, Brother Vellies; Jenny Fleiss, co-founder and CEO, Jetblack; and Heather Philp, senior vice president credit card products management, Wells Fargo.
To follow along the conversation use hashtag #VISAxNYFW and see more on Visa’s Instagram and Twitter.
New York posted a new interview with Candice about Tropic of C and her life in Brazil.
Now that she lives part-time in Brazil, supermodel Candice Swanepoel has her beach etiquette down pat.
“In Brazil, people take their bathroom to the beach,” says Swanepoel, who recently launched her own line of sustainable swimwear, Tropic of C. “People condition their hair on the beach. People who have hair on their thighs and arms, they bleach it on the beach. In South Africa, as a kid, if I saw people doing that, it would be weird. But there’s such a beach culture in Brazil, it’s normal.”
The Victoria’s Secret model — who is engaged to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli and gave birth to their second son, Ariel, less than three months ago — is ready to hit the sand, based on the nude Instagram she posted last week. “Breastfeeding makes you super skinny,” she says, adding that while she doesn’t succumb to outside pressures to be thin, a photo shoot for her own swimwear line helps fuel her fitness fire. “I’ve always pushed myself a lot,” she says. “And when you’re modeling your own shoots, you want to do even better.”
On Wednesday July 11th Candice took to her Instagram Stories to congratulate Joan Smalls but also to use for the first time the ask feature that Instagram recently set up for all the users to interact with their followers.
In the same set of stories she revealed to a fan who asked what was she working on she’s working on the resort collection of Tropic of C!
1st question: What’s your fave hair product?
CANDICE: Sleeping with oil in your hair helps hydrate. My favorites are Arian oil and coconut oil.
2nd question: During your pregnancy did you feel ok to work out? lm pregnant, thats why Im asking.
CANDICE: The first 3 months I exercised but nothing too strenuous. My first pregnancy I didn’t work out at all because I was
a bit nervous first time round, with Ariel I was preparing for the vs show but I stuck to light exercise. There are no rules, if you always exercised then continue as normal but if you don’t it’s probably not a great idea to start in
the first 3 months of your pregnancy. Listen to your body.3rd question: Is there anything new you are working on? -monicalozkova

On Monday a new set of photos surfaced via DailyMail and Backgrid in which for the first time Candice Swanepoel showed us her fantastic post partum body after 12 days of her natural birth at home.
On Wednesday Candice took to Instagram Stories to adress the disgusting comments she saw after that and as well as during her last months of pregnancy with the next words:
“This is me 12 days after having my son. If you have anything bad to say about it… Check yourself. Society can be so cruel to one another… Beauty standars are sometimes impossible for women these days, I’m not ashamed to show my post partum tummy… I am proud actually. I carried my son for 9 months in there, I think I’ve earned the right to have a little tummy, is it because I’m a model? Well, we are normal people too so let me enjoy the beach in peace please.✌”
“I don’t have to hide my stomach because people have unrealistic standars of women. We create life. What can you do? Ladies, we all are in this together, be kind to each other. XC.”
