Birgit Kos (born April 13, 1995) is a Dutch fashion model. She is known for both her work in fashion magazines and on the runway.
Kos is Dutch. [4] Born and raised in Overijssel, Kos now resides in Zürich, Switzerland. She says her creative outlet is being active in nature. [5]
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]
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. [3] 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]
From major advertising (Miu Miu, Giorgio Armani, GAP) and killer editorial (i-D, W, Vogue Germany, Vogue, Japan, Love) to a bumper show season, there's little escaping this Dutch delight right now. So modern and yet so classic, Birgit's timeless beauty is having a moment.
