Career

Kos was first scouted while she was 14 in Amsterdam by two local modeling agents.[6] After meeting with a modeling agency in the Netherlands, Kos was told that her "hips were too big" to obtain a contract with them.[7] She made her modeling debut during 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.[8] Kos lived in Milan for two years in a model apartment to develop her career.[9]

Kos' first magazine cover was for Glamour France's January 2016 issue.[7] In 2017, Kos worked with noted Peruvian photographer Mario Testino.[10]

Runway modeling

After signing to Elite Worldwide in 2014, Kos made her runway debut in Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda Fall 2015 show.[14] In 2016, she exclusively opened Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2017 show.[15][16] She went on to close Fendi and Hermès' Fall/Winter 2017 shows and open Chloé's show of the same season.[3] In the Spring/Summer 2018 season, Kos closed Tory Burch.[17] In the Fall/Winter 2018 season, Kos closed Blumarine and opened Roberto Cavalli.[18][19] In the Spring/Summer 2019 season, Kos closed Hermès and opened Zimmermann.[20][21]
