Early life[]

Prinsloo was born in Grootfontein, Namibia, then part of South West Africa.[9][10] Her father was contracted to work in South Africa before she was born, but when she was three years old her family moved back to Namibia. She is the only child of father Boet Prinsloo, who is a church minister. Her mother, Magda (née Rossouw), runs a bed and breakfast.[11][12] Her family are Afrikaners and she grew up speaking Afrikaans as her native language; she was educated in English.[13] She attended Grootfontein Secondary School and left after Grade 9 to pursue modelling.[14]

Her modeling career began when she was discovered while vacationing in Cape Town with her grandparents. "We went to the grocery store after church and this guy came up to me and asked if I was a model and wrote his number on a piece of paper...".[15]

Career[]

Prinsloo debuted as a Prada[16]/Miu Miu Exclusive.[17] Soon after, Juergen Teller photographed her for her debut ad campaign, Marc by Marc Jacobs,[17] and she soon was photographed by Mario Testino and Paolo Roversi for British Vogue[18] and David Sims for W Magazine.[19]

Prinsloo has embarked on a charitable trip to Haiti, following 2010's devastating earthquake that caused irreparable damage to the small nation. Partnering with LakayPam, an organization dedicated to helping children in developing nations meet their basic needs, she collected and delivered hundreds of letters of hope from all over the world and helped raise funds.[85]

When she made the journey to Haiti, she was accompanied by a cameraman and his friend. The resulting short film, Letters to Haiti, debuted 7 December 2011, at Milk Gallery in New York.[86][85]

She also supports organizations trying to protect the black rhinoceros, a critically endangered species native to Namibia and other countries in Southern Africa.[citation needed]
