Early life

Kos is Dutch. [4] Born and raised in Overijssel, Kos now resides in Zurich, Switzerland. She says her creative outlet is being active in nature. [5]

Career

Kos was first scouted while she was 15 in Amsterdam by two local modeling agents. [6] [7] After meeting with a modeling agency in the Netherlands, Kos was told that her "hips were too big" to obtain a contract with them. [8] She entered the 2010 Elite Model Look competition a year later, where she represented the Netherlands during the world finals and won a contract with Elite Model Management in Amsterdam. After the competition, she took a few years off to focus on schooling before modeling full-time. [9] Kos lived in Milan for two years in a model apartment to develop her career. [10]

Kos' first magazine cover was for Glamour France's January 2016 issue. [8] In 2017, Kos worked with notable Peruvian photographer Mario Testino. [11]

Kos has appeared in advertisements for Giorgio Armani, Miu Miu, Gap Inc., Calvin Klein, Lanvin, Tom Ford, and Massimo Dutti. [12] [13] [14] She and Irish actor Jamie Dornan co-starred in a Hugo Boss advertising campaign which included a mini-movie in 2018. Kos said, she would like to do more acting as modeling is not the most secure job. [6] [10]

Kos has been on the covers of Vogue Italia , Vogue Brasil, Vogue Japan , Vogue Germany, Vogue Mexico & Latino America , Vogue Netherlands , Vogue Russia and Vogue España. [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] Kos appeared alongside Croatian model Faretta in the Spring 2019 campaign for Italian label Twinset. [20]

Kos is currently ranked as one of Models.com's "Top 50 Models". [21]

Runway modeling

After signing to Elite Worldwide in 2014, Kos made her runway debut in Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda Fall 2015 show. [22] In 2016, she exclusively opened Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2017 show. [23] [24] She went on to close Fendi and Hermès' Fall/Winter 2017 shows and open Chloé's show of the same season. [1] In the Spring/Summer 2018 season, Kos closed Tory Burch. [25] In the Fall/Winter 2018 season, Kos closed Blumarine and opened Roberto Cavalli. [26] [27] In the Spring/Summer 2019 season, Kos closed Hermès and opened Zimmermann. [28] [29]
