Victoria's Secret Etc, Etc (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

^ true, they can parlay appearing in the show into years of work. Even though only the contracted girls are actual Victoria's Secret Angels, many in the general public and especially magazines and journalists confuse walking in the show with being an angel. The models will rarely contradict these assertions either, there are a multiple models who come to mind who i won't name that have kind of built their reputations on supposedly being angels, when really they've just walked once or twice.

Rumor has it that Ming Xi might be becoming the newest addition to the VS angel line-up???

 

[vivalakenna]

It's just a rumour at this point, but VS has been using Ming a lot this year which are all good signs for her. However, it's also possible they're just using her as a marketing technique as they focus on breaking into the Chinese market.

They used her and Sui for the store opening events a few months back, and Ming is a coach for the VSFS Model Search show they're doing in Asia. They shot it this week, with Russell James, John David Pfiffer, Yu Tsai and Zanna Rossi as the judges.

That would be awesome. VS is long overdue for an Asian angel. Even if the motivation behind it is to appeal to the Chinese market...

There is a new show - Road to the Runway.

They are looking for the next Chinese Victoria Secret Top-Model.

The hosts/mentors are Ming Xi ,Sui He and Xiao We Ju.

For the main show? Why is it so early this year?

 

[Valentine27]

Last fitting session? Already? How come?

Devon is one of the fitting models at VS

Is Barbara Fialho (not sure if that's how you write her name..?) still a fitting model? She was one for years, if I remember correctly..

 

[apple]

^yes she is.

Cindy Bruna is also a fit model this year. Same three as last year.

 

[cocogirl]

I know Candice was a fitting model for 2008, but does anyone actually know who the fitting model(s) were for the early 00 shows?

 

[marsnoop2]

Ale was the fit model for the 2000 show in Cannes

Goodness, last fitting session is so early this year... A shame that Behati hasn't officially made her comeback with the brand yet, b/c if she came back earlier I'm sure she'd get the fantasy bra this year. However, the last fittings are already happening, which means the team probably already chose who's wearing it this year.

 

[Fotoholic24]

^ Last fitting for the fitting models, not for the actual models that will walk on the show. That says that they a done with the lingerie part of the show, not with the "costumes" and wigns.

Oops That includes every outfit's lingerie but the FB, right? Last year, Barbara Fialho did a fitting photo with the Swarovski outfit, and she also tried on Lindsay's in 2013, meaning it's included in the process as well. Either way, I'm pretty sure they choose the FB model around June/July.

 

[Fotoholic24]

^Yes, im pretty sure the FB model knows by this time. They need tode the mold, samples, film the surprise revealing to the girl, the photoshoot...

I actually think they consider the models skin color, hair, eyes color in the process of the design, shape and selection of gems and materials!

Im also think its Behati, and for that reason they are having her low-key... Candice its already back to work at shootings and filming, so why no B?

 

[vivalakenna]

Bee has barely worked at all, let alone for VS. It will be very telling if she shoots the holiday commercial- they should be shooting that 1st or 2nd week of August.

I have a feeling that she's taking a step back from modeling now, and wouldn't be surprised if this was her last show.

 

[Armani]

Both Bee and Candice have done Versace, but Bee hasn't done anything for VS yet. Candice has been back for a while now, and their babies were born weeks apart. I would hope Behati gets a FB before she leaves (the only "veteran angel" not to get one yet), she deserves it. It'll be her tenth show this year too, but considering she's still not doing any work for them just yet, its a very low probability. Then again, even when VS did those cryptic videos of Jas/Jo/Tay/Romee before they announced Jas' FB, I expected it to be Taylor, who seemed to be the team's favorite at the time. Out of all the girls in the videos, Jas was getting the least work with the brand, although she was still used quite often. I guess we'll just have to wait & see
