Early life

Kos is Dutch.[1] Born and raised in Overijssel, Kos now resides in Zurich, Switzerland. She says her creative outlet is being active in nature.[2]

Career

Kos was first scouted while she was 15 in Amsterdam by two local modeling agents.[3][4] After meeting with a modeling agency in the Netherlands, Kos was told that her "hips were too big" to obtain a contract with them.[5] 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.[6] Kos lived in Milan for two years in a model apartment to develop her career.[7]

Kos' first magazine cover was for Glamour France's January 2016 issue.[5] In 2017, Kos worked with notable Peruvian photographer Mario Testino.[8]

Kos has appeared in advertisements for Giorgio Armani, Miu Miu, Gap Inc., Calvin Klein, Lanvin, Tom Ford, and Massimo Dutti.[9][10][11] 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.[3][7]

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.[12][13][14][15][16] Kos appeared alongside Croatian model Faretta in the Spring 2019 campaign for Italian label Twinset.[17]

Kos is currently ranked as one of Models.com's "Top 50 Models".[18]
