I noticed that there are tons and tons of Victoria Secret

I've always assumed that VS and their models were just another brand identity- just like Guess, D & G and others. I've always assumed that fascination with the Angels was a 50-50 guy/girl thing. But of course, I am wrong.

What does the company, their products, and their models mean to you? What's so special to you about them?

I don't find their print work or commercials to be particularly better than the Triumphs, Intimissimis, Passionatas ect. of the world. But I think the annual fashion show itself is probably what came to set it apart from the other brands I guess. There's the prospect of who will be there, what kind of outfits they will have, who will perform, who will get the fantasy ect. As to what it means to me, I think I actually prefer the lingerie commercials and print work from the other brands :ninja: because VS recently is becoming more girly than womanly IMO. So I guess what I like most is the fashion show itself and seeing what kindo of outfits are there :) .

The thing with VS is that they're different in many ways ...

- Most of companies have 4 seasons each year, VS promotes like 10 products each year + the seasonal stuff

- VS do launches or send a girl to do promotional things for almost every new product

- VS has commercials for everything: new products, Semi Annual Sale, X-Mas, Valentine's

- They use more models than any other company, i think 90% of models have at least 1 VS picture

- The 'Angels' thing ... For some reason, everyone loves to discuss who the heck is an Angel/Supermodel/Spokewoman/etc

& the reason why most of guys like VS

- It's hot girls in lingerie on TV each year!

& for the fans, we get to see tons of pictures each November of the models we like in the events pre-show, backstage, runway, pink carpet, after party

It's easy:

Models doing a VSFS = Tons of pictures = Happy Fans (you know you love the pictures even if the girl gets to wear a potato bag!)

There's a lot to talk about VS, there's always something you can say about VS

Now, i agree with Joe, lately i prefer print work from other companies like La Senza or Passionata :)

In my opinion- Modeling for Victoria Secret is the best thing you can do in your career, its the top of the game. The vs models are more than just faces and bodies- people known theyre names and they are somewhat celebrities in their own right. They are also the highest paid & are considered to be the most beautiful women alive. They have launched many model's careers and made them a house-hold name. I agree, the print work is nothing special...but the fashion show is what makes them even more famous as not many lingerie/chain store companies do an annual runway show.

Thanks. So it's a visibility thing.

I like the VS models in general but frankly besides Adriana, Alessandra, Karolina, Isabela, Heidi and Giselle... I happen to think that the SI models are better. There's a whole bunch from the SI mag that I think are better than "Candice Swanepoel, Rosie Huntington, Lindsay Elligson, Chanel Iman and Erin Heatherton".

Would SI be a no. 2 in terms of visibility? Those mags seem to stay on rack for months..

Yeah, i think that after VS probably SI is the other biggest thing you can get ... & IF you get both you're officially the luckiest model on earth, just look at Marisa Miller, Tyra Banks & Heidi Klum ... They're huge now!

I haven't browsed the rag in months so I'm probably missing a few people, but off the top of my head... Anna V., Jessica Hart, Tori Praver, Hilary Rhoda, Julia Henderson, Genieve Morton, etc. would probably fit really well in VS.

^ I think Victoria Secret are really picky when it comes to choosing their models , if they are very well known such as Brooklyn & Bar, they probably won't use them cause they will always be associated with being on the SI cover. I think it is an achievement to be in a vs show or on the cover of SI. to me Victoria Secret will always be the biggest modeling thing you can achieve, but SI is a close second for sure.

This is interesting. I've always thought that swimsuit work was somewhat incompatible with the runway (at times).

I just think that VS is very good at publicity. Anything that happens to their models is a way for them to get more press, they use a lot of modern platforms like Facebook and Twitter, they celebrate almost every other day for a reason or another... It's not just FW and SS, it never stops.

The times have changed!! We don't have the models we used to and we don't have a lot of the big name designers any more. So nowadays, VS is the biggest thing. I think it's kinda sad. I sure do miss the Valentino days :(

^ I wouldn't know as i was only around 2 when they had their first ever show, so i wasn't really into watching beautiful women prance around in lingerie. it wasn't until i 2005 that i got interested. I've seen some of the older VS && im not impressed, the ouftits were sooo plain and boring and safe, yes...some are god-damn awful at the most recent shows but atleast they're interesting to say the least...
