Very interesting...

She started booking more VS shoots after that while her HF jobs suffered. Up until 2014, early 2015, she was booking tons of shows and campaigns, and suddenly nothing.

I have a theory that it had to do with her standing up to D&G when they made comments about synthetic babies (2015?)... After that she stopped booking runways and shoots, when even the year before she was everywhere.

Looks like she doesn't even want to be there. Yikes...

Their brand was built on sexy, not childish. At this point, it's not a matter of the models, but the brand itself and those in charge of marketing and the obviously ineffective strategies they keep improving. If they went back to basics, they'd do better.

They do, doesn't mean this trip is free or just an ad for the company.

Even though I'm not a fan of some of those Angels, I don't think they're at fault for VS' issues. The biggest issue is the direction they're taking with their shoots. If they went back to the sexy, more mature vibes, it would be better all around, but going for a more laid back look is what's damaging. The girls can deliver, it's just a matter of using them in the right setting. More shoots like the ones for Valentine's Day last year would be better instead of the cutesy shoots they're pushing right now.

I don't think Zuri fits with the whole aesthetic VS is currently pushing. She's pretty and has her appeal, but unlike previous Pink girls, she doesn't really fit the mainline, same with Rachel, they tried to make her work, but it simply wasn't meant to be.

Doubt it's an ad. Alex went last year with a few friends of his, they probably just thought it was cool to go.

Just part of their holidays. They often recommend you bring several layers of clothing. I would imagine it gets quite cold & perhaps a bit humid so the different jackets would allow for the others to get dry before having to wear them again? Or just for fashion, maybe.

Also, does she even want to sign with VS? Unfortunately it's not as great as it used to be, so she might not even want to join them, for the show or otherwise.

They won't sign her until she's 18. And even then, I think she'll be way too big for a Pink contract. They might pull a Taylor with her and try and sign her as an Angel, but I kinda doubt she'll actually go for that. Imo, she'll just walk the show and that's it.

Thought it was new! VS posted it to their Weibo last night. @shver Old news, apparently. But here's another picture.

Anyone else seen this campaign before? Gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised by this shot...

She seems like an awesome person. I'm sure her friends are lucky to have her.

Absolutely! It's like they don't even know who they've worked with anymore. I think, however, it's more on whoever was in charge of editing the book. Forgot his name, but he said he was working from an external hard drive to keep it as secret as possible and avoid hacks.

What a mess. You'd think Russell would have someone check the lists before publishing? Haha.

Wasn't Flavia Oliveira listed as doing the show too? Or at least I remember seeing her in that same list that the Angels signed at the Flagship store...

The book was printed before the show even happened, so they probably went by the information they had. One of my favourite rugby players added a chapter to his book a week before it was meant to be published, needless to say it was rushed and some mistakes slipped through...

Somewhat off topic, but I love your signature. Lily is stunning.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was for VSX.

Care to elaborate?

Now, that's a low blow for the other girls... At least someone who has actually worked for VS and isn't a first-timer should've gotten the nod. I don't think we'll have any New Angels at the moment, or at least I hope not. It would have to be someone who has been with them for a while and who has also shot with the current Angels or is at least friendly with them instead of someone who hasn't done much for the brand...

I think every store is supposed to have it. Theirs, I've heard, is better edited than the one shown on TV.
