SympathysSilhouette

Does anyone have the HQ version of this shot?

Boob freckles!

I'm not sure how good a job Mendes and his styling department did. Berenice is sexier in most interviews I've seen of her than she is in the actual movie...

People, just because you aren't personally offended doesn't mean that something did not cause offense. Secondly, the headdress mess is 100% on VS' hands. It displays a level of cultural insensitivity that is rather baffling for such a big company. I stated (half-jokingly) that they need a VP of common sense for their outfits, but perhaps they really should hire someone for that job.

Level of butt-hurt is at critical mass As apologies go, that is pretty pathetic.

Looks pretty good to me...

Looks like poor Barbara got herself sucked into the crap vortex that is Bieber.

What if the fresh faces suck at opening the show? Define "suck". I'm not talking about discarding girls after one show. I am talking about not letting a career drag until the point where there is 0% chance the model will show a side of herself the audience/fans haven't seen yet.

The Fashion TV clip posted in the motion thread is actually an excellent example of why Adriana needs to go. It's not that she looks bad, but her stage persona has now been nearly identical since her earliest VSFS. Why not go for some fresh faces so the audience can be surprised a little bit?

There is no denying that Candide's body shape has changed since her earliest days in the business. There is also no denying that she has been much, much skinnier than she is today. It's almost as if people have forgotten about this:

Based on the pictures, this is the best Candice has looked at a VSFS since 2009.

Thank you!

I've been trying to figure out the themes for the costumes in Calender Girls. There's a few I don't quite get and a few other's I'm unsure of. Anyone care to help me? January – New Year February – Valentine’s day March – St. Patrick’s day April – Rain??? May – not a clue June – something with weddings? July – 4th of July August – Beach? September – something to do with (collegiate) sports? October – Halloween November - Thanksgiving December - Christmas

Inspiration? No, that would imply they took something and then made their own interpretation of it. This is a blatant rip-off!

Actually, both "Dangerous Liaisons" and the aforementioned Reese Witherspoon vehicle are based on the 18th century French epistolary novel "Les Liaison dangereuses". The John Malkovich - Glenn Close movie is also one of the sexiest features ever made. You should watch it if you get the chance. lol I know it's based after a Novel, but in terms of movies and for the sanity of the Facebook generation, I'll let them relate to the movie side of life You should share you knowledge whenever you get the opportunity Prettyphile.

VS is hardly above PR disasters. Remember when their casting director needlessly slammed Kate Upton after she got the SISE cover? That wasn't the smartest PR move either...

Rather naive (lack of worldliness?) from VS to now realize right away that would cause controversy.

Things we need VS to implement: 7-8 years max as the norm for their contracted girls more mature looking models at the VSFS to off-set all the girlish types more back to basics in their fashion show outfits (TBF, they did this to a certain extent this year)

I believe Adri's 14 years with the company is already a record... I honestly thought Heidi would hold the record, but she left after 13 years. If she indeed has two more years left on her contract that would be a rather absurdly long tenure of 16 years. I think the normal shelf live for an Angel should be 7-8 years. That's enough time to go from newbie to familiar face to Angel to main attraction. Again, this has nothing to do with the models age or their appearance. It's about keeping the show and their image fresh. I'm a big fan of Candice (like her a lot more than Adriana, now and before), but I surely hope she isn't still doing the VSFS in five years.

I thought I read somewhere that she just signed a new three year contract with VS last year.. not sure about that though. I agree with you, as much as I love her, it's almost that time to move on to better things. Especially seeing her at the show, it kinda made me sad she's getting older It's not about her age as much as the fact that this was her 14th VSFS! I'm not sure any model should be on that show for a decade and a half.

How many years are left on Adri's contract? Not wanting to anger her fans, but isn't it about time for VS to move on after 14 years?

That's ten outfits I (sorta) like in one post. I'm not sure there were ten in the entire show last year!

I agree 100% that Jacquelyn looked very good. But it's easier to "work" that kind of outfit than many of the others. It that regard it reminded me a lot of the Toy Soldier outfit Karolina once opened a section with (was it back in '06 or '07)? Point is, any model with a good body and some runway presence should make that look memorable.

They seem to have just one type: girlish. The old VSFS had more mature-looking women. I'm actually pretty convinced it is a conscious choice by VS to appeal to the 16-24 age group, which is probably fairly important to their business.
