Miranda kerr's accidental youtube scandal and Prada assignments
The increased worldwide exposure of Miranda Kerr -- which also included the Kanye West-Pharrell music video, "Number One," and a Victoria's Secret Angels-laden guest spot on the Neil Patrick Harris favorite, How I Met Your Mother -- helped vault her into the top 10 of Forbes' highest-earning models. Her financial success allowed her to branch out into new industry directions like the 2009 launch of Kora, her own organic skin care brand, and the preparations for her first book, Treasure Yourself. In the same year, Miranda Kerr would her magazine dominance as a cover model for Australian editions of Rolling Stone and Harper's Bazaar, as well as the German and Spain issues of Cosmopolitan and GQ, respectively.
After posing for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar, Miranda Kerr's pop culture status as a hot modeling commodity and top-level beauty was further cemented when Australian financial employee, David Kiely, was captured on television looking at her pictures while his coworker was being interviewed. More than 1 million YouTube views later, David Kiely earned a suspension and Miranda Kerr became more popular than ever (her Google searches doubled). After she publicly voiced her support for him, David Kiely got his job back and the model resumed her lucrative career with two high-profile Prada bookings for the company's fall and winter lines -- which would also feature American model Angela Lindvall and Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Doutzen Kroes.
