When you pit two Victoria’s Secret supermodels against each other in the ring, it’s not just a fight of mere mortals; it’s like an epic battle between two gladiators, two Amazonian Queens. Nicola Formichetti styles Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes with fetishist toughness for their girl fight in V Magazine’s sports issue. In many ways this is what Mario Testino does best: high impact, high…

While the life of a Victoria’s Secret supermodel involves, no doubt, a constant barrage of fan-like adoration from all sides, ask Lindsey Ellingson about true love and it’s not a definition that comes easily. At the launch of Victoria’s Secret’s new Gorgeous Push-Up Bra and new fragrances Simply Gorgeous and Bombshell in Love, we got the lovely Miss Ellingson pondering on that question. And if…

Age strips us of some things but affords us others. The sweet allure of innocence and naivety are replaced with the strong appeal of knowledge and sexual confidence. But youth and maturity are apples and oranges. They attract different audiences, sell themselves on different qualities, and can’t really be compared. Neither is unequivocally better than the other. Models usually start out their careers in youth,…

If you didn’t catch the glitter-filled extravaganza that was the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, don’t worry – you can still get your fix of skyscraper legs and energetic winks via the web. A Victoria’s Secret runway show is not a normal runway show. Its producers don’t want viewers to be thinking along the practical lines of which bra they might pick up next time…

The Victoria’s Secret show 2011 will be on the runway in a matter of hours. Anticipated for it’s energy, entertainment value and star power as much as for it’s lingerie, the question isn’t just what will be on the catwalk but who. So who can we expect to see bounding down the runway this year, wings fluttering, eyelashes batting, kisses blowing with targeted determination towards…

Sexy is a subjective quality, but if there were particular elements you might be more inclined to assign to it, they’re elements Blumarine has managed to capture in both this campaign and collection. Short hems (actually make that very short hems); bold leopard prints; keyhole necklines; sheer lace; bombshell red lips. If there was a formula for the kind of sexy that’s not at all…

I can’t say quite so much for the actual lingerie… As is often the case with Victoria’s Secret, the strength of their ‘Incredible’ range lies in great marketing and stunning models. That’s not exactly a failing on their behalf: any brand that can make a lime green pair of knickers look sexy has to be doing something right, even if that something happens to be…

The latest issue of Vogue Paris features a stand out editorial with Victoria’s Secret models Kaorlina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Izabel Goulart and Lily Donaldson. The shoot by Inez and Vinoodh purposely contrasts between the models in toned down black and white photos, and bright sexy contrasting outfits.

Classic black and white photographs featuring a cello, an old styled telephone and Adriana Lima wearing a one shouldered dress are all methods to showcase brands such as Valentino and D&G in Vogue Italia. Adriana Lima looks beautiful as photographed by Vincent Peters for this immaculate shoot.

For those of us who aren’t all that romantically inclined – or not in the snuggly teddy bears and sappy pet names kind of way, anyway – an occasion like Valentine’s Day does offer up at least one brilliant thing: the excuse to go out and buy some new lingerie, perhaps that’s a little more decadent or sensual than usual. Perusing through the Victoria’s Secret…
