Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009

^I actually just read in the paper today that VS designed some of the costumes. I have no idea how reliable that info is, but with Trump pushing this event so much this year I wouldn't be surprised if they had some sort of contract with VS or something.

Trump could have gone directly to VS but at the same time there is a netherworld of unknown independent designers and the same guy who VS contracted to design wings for the VSFS could have been contracted to work for the pageant. I know that one of the Project Runway contestants mentioned designing for the VSFS but I don't think he was employed by the company.

^ that was Nick! I know exactly what you're talking about too. He's not entirely telling the truth, he's in the wings mini-documentary/segment for the 2006 show. Designing the wings is not the same as designing the clothes for VSFS.

well the air has been cleared, this website is saying that Miss USA's wings were designed by the same company that designs the VS wings

the newer stuff look better than a lot of the stuff from the 2009 show.


These remind me of 2005 and 2006, when they still made themes and incorporated the lingerie into the themes. As opposed to the 2009 show which IMO was just lingerie with stuff thrown over them to make the theme.

Don't go by my comment as an indicator that Nicholas (sp?) is lying, I don't recall the specifics of what he said that he did for VS. Also depending on the nature of the costume the wings are a particularly spectacular and noteworthy part of the ensemble. As a side note, I think that it is interesting that they have not gone for showstopping wings in recent VSFSs.

I love the wings, and they are definitely the most exciting part to me in the show. Of course there has been few wings which did break the outfit, but at most of the times they can make almost regular lingerie looks something from fairytale. Wings equal VS to me.

I am not referring to any specific post, this just crossed my mind reading this last page
