This year, Victoria's Secret decided to organize a show in Shanghai on the Mercedez-Benz arena. The podium was the largest in the 22-year history of the show, and the number of spectators was 3000 people. For 55 models from 20 countries around the world flew an army of 27 stylists led by Anthony Turner and 32 make-up artists, under the control of the genius Tom Pecheux .
The girls showed 88 images and 38 pairs of wings, including those created by Olivier Rousteing within the framework of the collaboration with Balmain. Model Candice Swainpole first came to the podium after the birth of a child (the model became a mother in October 2016) and looked perfect.
For the musical component was answered Harry Style, Miguel, Jane Zhang and Leslie Odom, Jr.. Prior to China did not reach Gigi Hadid, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
The last changes to the show were made the day before at 3:30 in the morning. It was decided that the Punk section (from Olivier Rusteing), which was supposed to close the show, opened it. In turn, it dragged along the changes in all other parts of the show.
As always, the VS show was divided into themed sections. This year, the brand opened with the “Punk Angel” group, featuring looks by Balmain, followed by a “Goddesses” section that saw models channeling Greco-Roman deities with gold laurel wreaths and ornate gold-leaf wings. (Bella Hadid fans, take note: The youngest Hadid sister walked in this section twice.) The VS Pink section was themed “Millennial Nation” and was followed by the colorful “Winter’s Tale” group. The “Porcelain Angel” collection echoed the blue-and-white designs of Ming dynasty vases, and the show closed with a multicultural “Nomadic Angels” section that touched on traditions from cultures around the world.
Where else does a gold leaf and sapphire-adorned Fantasy Bra belong than in the “Goddesses” section? Lais Ribeiro wore the out-of-this-world number with a laurel wreath crown.
