A crisis is looming in Victoria's Secret. The company, which lost its two most promising models in 2015, seems to be seriously threatened with a roster renewal. Following Karlie Kloss, who stepped down from Angel duties in order to continue her studies, and Doutzen Kroes, who left the team this year, Lily Aldridge is also considering retiring from the podium and playing professionally. At least her ambitions are definitely not limited to posing and participating in annual shows. Even on the podium, in front of the camera and working in the studio, Aldridge feels more like an athlete than a model.
“We are all athletes,” she says. - And the feelings that I have for the other girls on my team are very strong. I talk to Candice and Behati almost every day. We had dinner with Doutzen last night. It is my responsibility to support my friends, those I love. They are all great people. And ruining your relationship with them is like ruining your relationship with your mom.
Victoria's Secret has always been famous for its team approach, work for a common result and good relations within the permanent composition. The friendship of Alessandr Ambrosio and Adrian Lima alone has brought the brand a lot of fame. So Lily Aldridge's "sporty" approach is appreciated here. And, nevertheless, recognition of merit may not be enough to keep her on the podium.
“I never aspired to the status that I now have,” Lily Aldridge admitted in an interview with Self magazine. - I assumed that I would continue training and continue to play football, get a scholarship in college and, in time, join some women's football team in the United States. My idol has always been Mia Hamm. I still treat her with great respect.
