We’ll be seeing a VS X Mary Katrantzou collection at this year’s show, following VS X Balmain last year:


According to Vogue, this will be the collection for this year’s PINK segment.

According to Sara Sampaio Sui He and Ming Xi are new VS angels looking at her instagram post it looks like so

EDIT : Russell James just confirmed it

 

[Armani]

So... 15 Angels (inc. Behati?) That's crazy, but OH MY GOD AM I HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE ASIAN ANGELS. YES.

Edit: Eh, not sure if they're Angels or not yet. They just shot with Sara. This could very well just be promotional "China spokesmodel" work.

 

[littlekiki]

I thought Sara was already an angel and has been for a while?

Sara is an angel, Sui and Ming may or may not be, but there's definitely speculation. Sui and Ming were announced as China spokesmodels recently but were shooting with Sara today for what seems to be a Valentine's Day campaign. Sara and Russell both posted "Welcome to the family!" photos with the two of them. There's no official confirmation yet.

Fittings are coming up soon (in a few weeks, as far as I know... no exact date is confirmed), so here’s a few predictions I have of which brand some models might walk in at this year’s show.

PINK:
Willow Hand
Myrthe Bolt
Alannah Walton
Maia Cotton
Josie Canseco
Maggie Laine
Zuri Tibby

VS:
Yasmin Wijnaldum
Kelsey Merritt
Sadie Newman
Cheyenne Carty

Advancing to VS:
Lameka Fox
Nadine Leopold

???:
Grace Elizabeth (PINK Spokesmodel, walked in 1 PINK segment and 1 VS segment last year. Should we expect the same, see her only in PINK, or advance fully into VS and become an Angel? The VS team definitely seems to see Angel potential in her, as they should.)
Duckie Thot (I wouldn’t be one bit surprised to see her in either brand.)
Mayowa Nicholas (if she walked last year, she would’ve been in PINK. I think we can all agree that she deserves better than PINK.... hopefully the team realized that this year.)

Pretty much all the other newbies are completely unknown to me. Barbara P, Shanina and Toni will obviously all be in VS.
Most of the returning models are pretty self explanatory, so I’m not putting them on the predictions list.

Hopefully Sui and Ming are official angels, they deserve it.

 

[Armani]

We are officially a month before the taping of the show (November 8th, save the date!)

Fittings will occur A WEEK (Yes, ONE week) before the show, meaning we'll find out the complete lineup a week before the show.

The "Making Of" series should be starting up soon, so we'll know much, much more about the show very soon.

Any suggestions on 1) Who should create the 2018 VSFS thread and 2) When it should be created?

I'm actually... really lost with all the false VSFS info spreading around, so I'd suggest I don't create the thread. To whoever does, I'd be happy to update the first post when new major info breaks.

Well if Behati's back then my money is on her to get the FB.

 

[Elite13]

It would have actually been really cool if VS was held in South Africa this year and Candice and Behati opened it. (I know Behati is Namibian but iirc she was born in South Africa & her mother is from there)

Anyway, happy she's back! Her personality is so fun.

That'd be pretty cool, but given the mess last year while traveling to China, I'm sure they'll stay in NYC for another year or so. They could have also done a show in Brazil a while back given how many Angels they had from there.

 

[vivalakenna]

Pretty sure this will be Behati’s last show and she’s just finishing up contract obligations from before her first pregnancy.

While I completely understand why she took off time from VS and support her spending time with her family, I’ll be annoyed if she gets the FB after two years of not working for the brand at all. Yes, she has put in years with the company, but so have girls like Elsa (since 2011) and even Martha (since 2013), and I feel like it would be a slap in the face to give it to Bee when she’s hasn’t been working for VS in years while these girls have been putting in the work.

Give her the show closing as a send off, IMO.

Edit: Also, just an observation on how odd it is that taping less than a month away and Adriana hasn’t made a peep about the show at all. She unfollowed VS on Instagram a while back, and wasn’t included in a post VS made a while back that included every other Angel (including Bee) except Adri and Lily, who is rumoured to be done with VS.

Why she unfollowed VS? It would be so tragic if they don't give a proper "good bye" to Adriana, I mean she is the ULTIMATE Victoria's Secret Angel, I was very disappointed when they don't give Heidi and Alessandra a decent "good bye".

She unfollowed VS after that "taking off clothes for an empty cause" post, which ended up being about the Love Advent calendar. I think she's said before she plans on walking the show until she's at least 40.

Does anyone know when the FB would be revealed?

VS x Mary Katrantzou first sketch has been revealed
