Miranda Kerr
Miranda May Kerr is an Australian model. Kerr rose to prominence in 2007 as one
of the Victoria's Secret Angels. She is the first Australian to participate in
the Victoria's Secret campaign and also represented the Australian up-market
department store chain David Jones. In addition, Kerr has launched her own brand
of organic skincare products, KORA Organics, and released a self-help book,
Treasure Yourself.
Kerr began modelling in the fashion industry when she was 13, starting at
Chaay's Modelling Agency, and subsequently won a 1997 Australian nationwide
model search hosted by Dolly magazine and Impulse fragrances. She married
English actor Orlando Bloom in 2010; they have since separated.
Kerr was born in Sydney and was raised in the small town of Gunnedah, New South
Wales. She is the daughter of Therese and John Kerr. Therese has been the
general manager of Sydney-based KORA Organics since February 2010. She has a
brother, Matthew, who is two years younger. In an interview, Kerr stated that
her ancestry is mostly English with smaller amounts of Scottish and French.
During her childhood, Kerr "raced motorbikes and rode horses on her
grandmother's farm". She describes her early life in the Australian countryside
as "very grounding ... there wasn't any pretentiousness and no one really cared
what you were wearing. You could just be you."
Her family moved to Brisbane to allow Kerr and her brother to experience city
life. She graduated from All Hallows' School in 2000. Kerr studied nutrition and
health psychology before pursuing modelling.
At age 13, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly magazine/Impulse model
competition. She was flown to Sydney a week before her 14th birthday to shoot
for the magazine. Upon Kerr's win, local media expressed "concerned outrage" at
her young age. The controversy raised concerns about the glorification of young
girls within the fashion, beauty, and entertainment industries.
Some media outlets claimed her Dolly shoot (including images of a 14-year-old
Kerr in bathing suits) constituted a form of paedophilia. Of the press, Kerr
said: "In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything
remotely to do with paedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for
old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something
out of nothing."
Kerr signed to Chic Management's Sydney division. She received considerable
commercial exposure after a series of beachwear ads predominantly for Australian
surf chain Billabong, in which Kerr modelled surf brands Tigerlily, Roxy,
Billabong Girls, and One Teaspoon. This increased her profile in the Australian
and Asian markets, after which Kerr relocated to New York where she became
co-owner of the Bowery Ballroom.
In New York, Kerr had a multitude of runway appearances and then signed with
NEXT Model Management in early 2004. From there, she was booked for runway and
print campaigns for major labels, including Alex Perry, Baby Phat, Lisa Ho,
Voodoo Dolls, Levi's, Bettina Liano, Nicola Finetti, L.A.M.B., Heatherette,
Betsey Johnson, Trelise Cooper, Jets, John Richmond, Blumarine Swimwear, Neiman
Marcus, Seafolly Swimwear, Anna Molinari, Rock and Republic, Roberto Cavalli,
and Ober Jeans. Kerr was also booked for print in magazines such as Elle,
Australian Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and was featured in television
advertisements for brands like Portmans, Bonds, and Veet.
In early 2006, Kerr appeared in the finale episode of the TV show Project
Runway, modelling clothes for contestant Daniel Vosovic's final collection. She
was the first woman to walk down the catwalk. She debuted with the United States
market when she signed a lucrative cosmetics contract with Maybelline New York.
The campaign ran in a series of internationally sold women's beauty magazines,
including Cosmopolitan, CLEO, and Elle, and was eventually featured in
Victoria's Secret catalogues. Along with several other Victoria's Secret and
Next agency models, Kerr was also featured in a music video for the single
"Number One" by artists Kanye West and Pharrell.
Following her success with Maybelline, Kerr became the first Australian model to
be offered a contract with Victoria's Secret in 2007, replacing Gisele Bundchen.
Upon her acceptance, she became the first ever Australian Victoria's Secret
Angel joining the stable of models already signed to the lingerie giant,
including Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks,
Izabel Goulart, and Heidi Klum. Before becoming an Angel in 2007, Kerr was
already picked to become the successor of Alessandra Ambrosio as the face of
PINK in 2006. Kerr's popularity continued to increase as one of the globally
recognised Angels when she appeared in the Victoria's Secret 2006, 2007, 2008
and 2009 televised runway shows, which aired on four continents.
In 2007, Kerr signed on as the face of Californian fashion retailer Arden B.
After debuting in their spring and summer ad campaigns, Kerr returned for their
fall 2007 campaign, shot by fashion photographer Diego Uchitel. Following her
modeling success with Victoria's Secret, Kerr made a small guest appearance in
the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother alongside fellow Angels Adriana Lima,
Marisa Miller, Alessandra Ambrosio, Heidi Klum and Selita Ebanks.
She also became the new face of Clinique Happy and signed a six-figure deal to
be the new face of Australian department store David Jones, replacing model
Megan Gale. In 2008, in which she had earned an estimated $3.5 million in the
previous 12 months, Forbes placed Kerr No. 10 in the list of the world's
top-earning models.
Since 2009, Kerr was in the spring/summer ad campaign for XOXO. She was in
Forbes 2009 list of the world's highest-paid models, ranking at No. 9 with
estimated earnings of $3 million. She left NEXT Model Management and signed with
IMG Models. Kerr posed nude on the cover of Rolling Stone Australia's July 2009
issue. She then ended the year walking in the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion
Show.
In October 2009, Kerr launched her own brand of organic skincare products, KORA
Organics, with George Moskos and became the face for the company.
In June 2009, Kerr posed naked, chained to a tree, for an issue of Rolling Stone
Australia, to raise awareness for the endangered koalas. Her charitable work
includes Wildlife Warriors Worldwide and Children International. In August 2010,
Kerr released an inspirational self-esteem, self-help book, Treasure Yourself.
Treasure Yourself is aimed at female teenagers.
She appeared in the 2010 Pirelli Calendar photographed by Terry Richardson in
Bahia, Brazil. Previously better known for her Victoria's Secret status rather
than her high fashion work, Balenciaga is credited for launching her high
fashion modelling career when casting directors Ashley Brokaw and Nicolas
Ghesquiere chose her to walk exclusively for the brand's spring 2010 runway
show. It was her first designer fashion show, aside from Victoria's Secret,
since 2007. A season later she walked for design company Prada for their fall
2010 collection in Milan alongside fellow Angels Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra
Ambrosio. Kerr then modelled for campaigns for Prada and Jil Sander, and was
shot by Steven Meisel for the cover of Italian Vogue for September. She appeared
on the Forbes 2010 list of the world's highest-paid models, ranking at No. 9
where she earned $4 million.
In January 2011, Kerr became the first pregnant model for Vogue when featured in
Vogue Australia, being six months pregnant at the time of the shoot. In March
she hit the catwalk for Balenciaga's fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection as part
of Paris Fashion Week, two months after giving birth. Kerr also posed nude for a
2011 Harper's Bazaar photo shoot. In October at Paris Fashion Week SS12 she
walked the runway for Christian Dior, Lanvin, Chanel, John Galliano, Stella
McCartney, Viktor & Rolf and Loewe. Kerr was chosen to present the $2.5 million
Victoria's Secret Fantasy Treasure Bra for their fashion show in November 2011.
In January 2012, she was named ambassador for Qantas. In June, Kerr signed a
contract to represent Samantha Thavasa, promoting the brand's "Malissa" bag. In
November, she was named the new face of high street brand Mango, replacing Kate
Moss for its spring/summer 2013 campaign. Kerr placed at No. 7 in Forbes 2012
list of the world's highest-paid models with earnings of $4 million.
In March 2013, negotiations to renew her five-year contract with David Jones
"fell through," leading to a peaceful split between the two parties. The
following month, it was reported that Kerr's three-year, $1-million contract
with Victoria's Secret was not being renewed. Anonymous sources claimed Kerr had
a "difficult reputation" and was not "a big seller for VS"; however, Kerr's camp
stated she was unable to commit the necessary time to the brand. In response,
Victoria's Secret chief marketing officer Ed Razek stated he had already invited
Kerr to walk in that year's fashion show.
She was ranked No. 2 in Forbes 2013 list of the world's highest-paid models,
with estimated earnings of $7.2 million which is $3.2 million more and a jump of
five places in the list from the previous year. In October, Kerr was named the
face of Austrian crystal house Swarovski for their fall 2013 compaign, and that
December she starred in social shopping website ShopStyle's first national
campaign.
In February, Kerr replaced Gisele Bundchen as the face of Swedish clothing brand
H&M. She then featured in high-profile campaigns for Reebok and Wonderbra.On 22
April 2014, Kerr released her first single on-line, featuring her and crooner
Bobby Fox, in a cover of Elvis Presley's "You're The Boss".
In February 2010, Kerr became the subject of global headlines when David Kiely,
a banker at Macquarie Bank in Sydney, was caught viewing more explicit photos of
her on his computer while in the background of a colleague's live television
interview with Channel 7. Within days, a clip of the interview uploaded onto
YouTube received over 1.3 million hits. Eventually, Kiely was suspended and an
internet campaign launched on his behalf. Kerr herself gave him her backing: "I
am told there is a petition to save his job, and of course I would sign it." The
incident prompted a 100% increase in the number of Google searches for Kerr's
name. A few days after the incident, Macquarie Bank announced that Kiely would
keep his job.
Kerr has frequently been said to be one of the sexiest women in the world.
Models.com ranks her number 4 on the Top 20 sexiest models. She has been ranked
in FHM's '100 Sexiest Women' poll at No. 56 in 2009, No. 36 in 2010, No. 44 in
2011, No. 51 in 2012, No. 56 in 2013 and No. 48 in 2014. Kerr was named one of
the "100 Hottest Women of All-Time" by Men's Health beating the likes of Audrey
Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren. She was named "Sexiest Woman Alive 2012"
by Esquire UK. She has also regularly ranked on AskMen's list of Top 99 Women
coming in at No. 19 in 2008, No. 46 in 2009, No. 10 in 2010, No. 5 in 2011, No.
25 in 2012, No. 6 in 2013 and No. 46 in 2014.
Kerr's model trademark is her dimples. Celebrity photographer Russell James
stated:
The US has fallen in love with her. We love her because she has the most
incredible girl-next-door look and she's also insanely beautiful. It means women
are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to
her. It's a fantastic combination ... people want to be around her; she's fun on
a shoot ... and she's not stupid, which can be a very annoying trait among some
models.
Model agent Ursula Hufnagl described Kerr as "the perfect endorsement", citing
her ability to "truly sell a product". Kerr maintains her physique through daily
yoga, light jogging, and a diet of steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, and fish.
Kerr told readers of Australian Cosmopolitan that coconut oil was the key to her
clear skin, shiny hair and trim figure, saying she ingests four tablespoons a
day, either on salads, in her cooking or in her cups of green tea.
In response to claims that Kerr is a practicing Buddhist, she told The
Telegraph, "I'm not Buddhist. I'm Christian. I pray every day. I meditate every
day and I do yoga. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. And praying is something my
grandmother taught me as well. To pray and be grateful, have gratitude, is a big
thing for me." She later told Into The Gloss:
I like to pray and I like to meditate. Doing just three minutes of prayer and a
minimum of five minutes meditation twice a day sets the tone-like an arrow so
that you're hitting your target. When I pray I always thank Mother Nature for
all the beauty in the world; it's about having an attitude of gratitude. And
then I pray to Christ to say, 'Thank you for this day and my family and my
health,' and now that I'm older I've added, 'Please illuminate me. Please open
my heart chakra. Open my aperture and uplift my consciousness so that I can be
the best version of myself.'
Miranda Kerr told Women Fitness about her Beauty Secrets, in her own words:
"In my own life I believe in and use positive affirmations, and as such I wanted
to give each of the KORA Organics products a personal touch. Dr Masaru Emoto's
studies on water crystals reveal how the molecular structure of water can be
dramatically impacted by thoughts, intentions, words, ideas and even music. Dr
Emoto discovered that we can create profound healing or have an equally
destructive affect on our own body just in the way we think.
I believe in Dr Emoto's work and the intention was that the positive words on
each of the KORA Organics products would create a positive affect for the user.
Yoga is at the core of my health and fitness regime, I enjoy practicing
regularly and have done so for over ten years now. I also love to do pilates.
Low impact activities that focus on the connection between mind and body work
best for me. It is important that every woman listens to what works best for
their own body.
For my diet day to day I adopt the 80/20 rule. 80% healthy and organic, 20%
indulgent and that works for me and my body personally. I indulge occasionally
and avoid counting calories.
Ideally, I like to start my day with a fresh pressed green juice with kale,
cucumber, spinach, parsley and lemon. Half an hour later I like to make a
smoothie with sun warrior protein powder, goggi berries, noni juice, viatmineral
greens, chia seeds, bee pollen, raw cacao powder, macca powder and acai powder.
I will then have organic eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. That works for me and is
a great way to get my body started for the day. I believe breakfast is one of
the most important meals in the day".
"I am passionate about health and nutrition and I have always paid close
attention to everything I put in and on my body. I created the KORA Organics
product range because it was the only way for me to have everything I was
looking for in a Certified Organic Skincare range. I also wanted something I
could recommend to fans and do so from the heart. The KORA Organics brand
reflects everything I believe in and I am very proud of where we are today and
inspired by the testimonials we receive on a daily basis".
