Newsmaker of the week : Elsa Hosk

Sweedish model Elsa Hosk is our Newsmaker this week.

With Doutzen Kroes and Karlie Kloss hang their angel wings earlier this year the 26-year-old is speculated to be appointed by Victoria's Secret as its new angel.

Hosk started modelling at the age of 14. After graduating, she became a professional basketball player – training for up to eight hours a day – but quit when modelling jobs called for her to move to New York. She started modelling for Victoria's Secret's subdivision Pink in 2012 also serving as a brand ambassador for the label.

Before VS her first big break was with GUESS appearing in advertising campaigns photographed Ellen von Unwerth, for five consecutive seasons. She has walked in an impressive amount of runway shows for Christian Dior, Giambattista Valli, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Acne Jeans, and Joseph Altuzarra and has also fronted campaigns for CoverGirl cosmetics, Barneys New York, Free People, H&M, Gorsuch, Vichy, and Pret a Surf.

Besides being a professional basketball player she does kickboxing, Pilates, spinning and barre classes. While Victoria's Secret has yet to confirm or deny the rumors if proved true Elsa will join current Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge and Adriana Lima.
