Behati Prinsloo’s modeling career began when she was discovered in Cape Town while she was there on vacation with her grandparents.
“We went to the grocery store after church and this guy came up to me and asked if I was a model and wrote his number on a piece of paper and my grandfather was like this is so shady,” she said in an interview.
She debuted as a Prada/Miu Miu Exclusive model. She was then photographed by German fine art and fashion photographer Juergen Teller when she made her debut ad campaign with Marc by Marc Jacobs. Behati Prinsloo eventually appeared in British Vogue and W Magazine.
