They're not your usual boring stamps showing bucolic scenes or
national landmarks. Instead, the Dutch post office is rolling out a
collection featuring supermodel Doutzen Kroes in a series of
poses.
Her arms coyly crossed across her naked chest, or clad only in a
swimsuit, the former Victoria's Secret model will likely have many
philatelists cheering.
The black-and-white pictures featured on the 10 different stamps,
which go on sale from Monday from PostNL, have been snapped by
another Dutch icon, photographer and music video director Anton
Corbijn.
Kroes says the pictures are "atmospheric and full of
emotion."
"I usually see my photos in magazines and on posters. Photos in
postage stamp format have different requirements in order to come
across powerfully," she said in a statement Saturday.
The ten stamps are marked Netherland 1 and are destined for
mailing letters within the country.
The lanky, blonde Kroes, 31, is also known as one of the faces of
the cosmetics company L'Oreal.
