The Doutzen Wears Prada

Miu Miu

Prada

Also, apparently the Dutch model really can speed skate, which just seems absurd but also strangely sensible:

Actually, if you told us Doutzen held a degree in nuclear physics, we’d probably be like, “Oh yeah…”

On another skating note: Last night, Richie Rich told us, “Don’t be sad Heatherette’s not having a fashion show. I’m not. Skating is way more fun.”

Speed skating is the Dutch equivalent of youth soccer leagues in the U.S; everybody does it. Will you also be surprised if you learn that she eats a lot of herring rides a bicycle as her primary mode of transport?

She definitely knows how to speed skate. Her parents met while competing in a speed skating match. The Vogue issue "The Next Top Models" has an interview where she talks about this and also points out healthy skater thighs.

I don't understand the mixed reception Doutzen gets here. She's shown herself to be nothing but unfailingly well-spoken and even sweet in her interviews and video clips.

I am disappointed by her apparent Victoria's Secret deal, but it seems as though she is being actively pushed in that direction (by folks who find her too sanguine and un-waifish for high fashion).

Doutzen rocks! After Frederique van der Wal , 1991 Miss Universe runner- up Paulien Huizinga and Famke Jansen, she's our fourth model export to make it big.
Predictably down to earth, she nevertheless seems a nice girl.
