Lets talk
Victoria Secret. The show, its all PINK! I loved how fun and flouncey the whole
presentation of the show was. Bright neon lights leading the girls down the
catwalk, a backdrop of subtle floating feathers and oversized pompoms
decorating the edges of the catwalk; but empowering the stage in any way shape
or form. Fun bundles of pastel shaded balloons trailed the edge of the catwalk
alongside the audience gazing at these crazily beautiful girls, with impeccable
physiques.
The aired
version of the show showed how the catwalk was directed into various sections.
Various sections featured the vocals from Ed Sheeran over 'Exotic Dancer',
Taylor Swift on 'Fairytale' and Adriana Grande dancing alongside the models on
'University of Pink'. Taylor Swift wore a pink sassy chiffon number looking
pretty hot for a farmyard country singer. She's bloody terrible but have a
feeling she is slowly becoming my guilty pleasure after 'Shake it off' and now
this show..
It was the first few notes of heartbreaker of a song
'Thinking of you' by Ed Sheeran that opened 'Exotic Dancer', where in which
Brazilian models Adrianna Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio appeared in their
exquisite 2 million dollar dazzling Fantasy Angel Bras; floating down the
runway with a bright blue and scarlet chiffon capes behind them. The
ridiculously glistening bras were made by jewellers Mouawad using 16,000
rubies, diamonds and sapphires, all of which were strung together with 18 karat
gold- they were obviously on a sincere budget this year! The relationship
between the Brazilian duo and story of their friendship from being angels over
the years were projected, along with glamorous yet classy images of
Adrianna and Alessandra from Angel photographer Russell James.
'University
of Pink' kicked romantic vibes and filled the stage with fun, confident, flirty
girls alongside Arianna Grande. Fast exciting neon lines shot underneath
Arianna on the runway whilst oversized neon signs and symbols that flashed were
hanging above the catwalk. The models were wearing crazy decorative jackets
with a combination of snazzy looking sportswear and lingerie. Combing this
'PINK' promotion of a healthy lifestyle wearing baggy style gym pants with bras
and backpacks. They all looked like they were having a party down with runway
engulfed with flashing lights, glitter and feel good music, it was believable
that the girls were actually having fun! Aside from all the exciting catwalk
strutting and beautifully constructed garments i still believe personally that
the models are still very skinny. Although Victoria secrets do promote a
healthy lifestyle in many blog posts online, via Instagram and the Angels blog,
these girls are still scarily thin. I am all for the fun filled shows, i think
we just need to be reminded of the girls who these showed are marketed for.. as
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only girl who's Whatsapp group was going crazy
whilst we all dreamt over the show!
One
day ill be an Angel.. but for now I'm a Uni student who lives off Pasta and
treats myself too often on the weekends! With Love, DOAFSDO, x
