“I have all the samples and I’ve been wearing them for about a month,” says Candice Swanepoel about a pair of denim jeans she sported while she was in London for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, “All of the girls are asking me about them!” The “girls” who Swanepoel is referring to are her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels, and as for the piece of clothing that they swooned over, those are her jeans and the product of her collaboration with the denim brand Mother. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Swanepoel has entered the field of jean design: The supermodel has an impeccable denim collection. Whether she is exiting an airport or on the asphalt, the South African stunner has a knack making a pair of “mom jeans” look Sєxy, or upping the ante on a simple pair of cut-off shorts.
The collection, which includes seven styles that range from high-waisted to skinny jeans with slashed knees, along with appearance of an old-school ʙuттon-down fly, is dotted with Candice’s favorite era of the nineties, as well as nods to **Cindy Crawford’**s short shorts in her 1992 Pepsi Super Bowl commercial. “I love that image, so that’s where it all started,” says Swanepoel. “It’s not that dress-up denim—it’s more ‘girl off-duty.’ That relaxed look that was still Sєxy. They just threw on a white shirt and the jeans kind of did it all.”
