I’d take Kendall over Alexina.

Instagram comments are their consumer base. It’s pretty telling how poorly they did with this choice given the reaction from their fans. I just briefly glanced at the comments and there isn’t a single positive comment in the top batch. Alexina was the last model that should have gotten this contract. She was awful at the show, her photos are subpar, she’s a grown ass woman who acts like a 13 years old and she’s another white girl in the line up of white girls. [cue Alexina gargling rocks while gushing about how she has red hair]

Probably just stuff that hasn’t dropped yet. The studio stuff was shot a month after the campaign shoot in Miami.

There will be another swim drop next week as well.

15, and then their own VS branded swim. They’re honestly not collabs. They’re just acting as a stockist for these other brands.

I’m assuming they started with relatively low stock in most of the items, but they’re already sold out of a lot of stuff. I ended up buying two pieces this morning and they were marked as low stock when I purchased them, and I checked again out of curiosity and the one piece only has one size left, and the other one has sold out in half the sizes.

V Magazine One more for VS Swim. Rene Caovilla IG

There's a "Inspiration- Sara's Summer Picks" page with these swim images. There are also some campaign images showing up on the mobile version of the site with Lorena, Grace etc but I can't save them. edit: Romee is the face of Seafolly atm right? She's used for all the Seafolly x VS pictures.

Tbh I’m struggling to tell if it’s a new shoot or an old BTS from November but hopefully it’s new. Looking at the swim options now, I definitely think we could see Tropic of C and VS do something together at some point. I don’t think a lot of these are collabs- more like VS is acting as a third party seller. Makes sense in a way- VS isnt taking on as much risk producing these suits with the relaunch and can test the waters of swim popularity, and it gives these brands a much larger audience and makes them more accessible. I’m also seconds away from throwing this suit in my cart except I have a feeling it won’t be as kind to girls with boobs.

Barbara’s Wonderbra campaign was likely shot before her Angel contract was finalized. She won’t be able to shoot lingerie with other brands now. VS is very tight on their exclusivity clauses with their spokesmodels- it’s actually a reason some models have turned down Angel contracts. It restricts them with other jobs too much. Different girls have different contracts as well. Alessandra negotiated out of her swim contract when she resigned, and therefore could have her swim line but didn’t shoot for VS swim anymore. You saw a lot of VS girls snap up swim campaigns following it being discontinued too.

It looks like Elsa might have shot for Tropic of C again, so it’s looking more likely that VS didn’t renegotiate swim into her contract. On that note, VS is doing all these collabs. What do you guys think the chances are of a Tropic of C x VS collab somewhere down the line?

First, thank you for taking the time to invest in this redesign and improving on BZ! Second, thank you for welcoming our input and valuing our suggestions. Photo and Video Viewing So these are just my personal preferences when it comes to viewing photos and videos: ● Neat, clean thumbnails. I like the way BZ automatically does them (200px auto width, neatly spaced and justified) but as mentioned before, it might be a nice option for people to choose a thumbnail size for their account. I like them smaller, but people might prefer being able to see more details. ● Embedded videos are really messy with the current BZ design. I had brought this up before, but I'd love to see videos displayed the same way as photos. A thumbnail of the video, and then when clicked it either expands or opens in a pop up window? I think BZ used to have a viewer like this- photos would open full screen on the same tab, and you could scroll between them? ● I'm not a big fan of the (5+ images) idea. I'd rather keep to seeing all the images in the post at once, but then maybe utilize the carousel for full sized viewing. ● A way for users to organize their own images? I rarely use the BZ uploader and still stick to my own image host because I can organize pictures into different galleries that makes it easier for me to go back and find them. Even being able to filter by topic in the "My Attachments" stream would be an improvement. Model Profile ● I love this idea! I'm not 100% how you could incorporate it smoothly into the forum structure though. If I'm browsing in a dedicated forum (like Female Fashion Models) I think it would annoy me if I clicked on a model's name and it took me a profile instead of the direct thread. ● However, maybe it would be possible to rework the Model Directory to incorporate this? You search for/select a model and you're brought to a brief profile that gives a lot more information than the first page of the thread would, and then there's a link to the thread somewhere on the page. ● I like the idea of having model stats and agencies listed. Including social medias like Youtube and Instagram would also maybe be nice, although I see that being a lot of work for moderators to update. Misc ● Any chance we could get the post reactions back? It was a nice way to show appreciation to posters who post great content without clogging up a thread with brief thank you posts. ● I know the badges are low priority, but it would be fun if people could get awarded badges for winning some of the BZ contests, like the Cup of Nations etc. ● I really don't know how you would fix it/improve it atm but the instagram embeds have been really annoying of late. I think it's more of a user issue of certain users posting multiple embeds in one post, and them not displaying in a neat/clean way but maybe simply having them a narrow width would help with the bloat. ● Quoting images! Any way that quote images could automatically turn into an image link or something so we don't have quotes of the same 30 thumbnails on the same page? I might attempt some mock ups over the weekend of what I'd love to see.

She looked amazing at this event. Love the fresh hair and make up.

I love Alanna but I don’t know if I see her as an Angel.

I just want them to cut most of these girls instead of getting a bloated line up again. Like at least when they announced the 10 NA’s they had some WOC included in that. Obviously I want Lo and Grace on the team, but cut Martha, Stella, Bee first and also get some WOC in there.

As much as I love Grace and Lorena, signing three similar brunette white girls at the same time is the last thing they need atm. They’re not going to really add anything to the current line up of 12 (?) girls unless they make some cuts. If they do end announcing some more girls, I hope they bring some more diversity into the line up.

Tbh, I feel like this is hopefully VS turning a corner of knowing what their consumers want. I love FAE’s designs, and I’ll probably grab something from this collab if the prices are decent. Edit: Preview of the collab.

A guest arc on a tv series would be a fantastic place for her to sharpen her teeth though. Tv series, and especially soaps, don’t generally require the same talent that’s expected in movies. For a beginner like her, if she’s actually serious about acting (instead of just being the pretty actress with two line cameos) it would be a great way to practice being on set and screen and building up her skills. Also Hollywood blockbusters are not done in a month.

Stumbled upon her on IG. Really like her look.

Zoey Grossman. Her and Elsa always have fantastic shoots together. She shot Elsa's last jewelry campaign for Jacob & Co, and they recently had some editorials together in Elle and Issue.
