10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: October 9-15

This was the week of eyebrows, Tavi, and scary feet. This was also the week we saw the best royal wedding ever and were reintroduced to Derek Zoolander. Plus, Kanye visited Occupy Wall Street in Balmain and Givenchy. Sure.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Then And Now

0-vs

The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show airs on November 29th, and while we already know that both Kanye West and Maroon 5 will be performing, it wasn’t always such an extravaganza.

Model Lover Kanye West To Headline Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Kanye has a well-documented history with models. The model song, the model Twitter follows, the model music video — we’ve seen it all! So yeah, it’s pretty appropriate that the rapper is headlining the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

CATWALK JUSTICE: This Is What Happens When You Bore Nina Garcia

cj19aug

Since CATWALK JUSTICE devoted last week’s entire column to the Louboutin v. YSL case, there’s quite a bit of fashion law news to catch up on.  Much of it, however, seems oddly familiar.  There seem to be three lessons to take from this week’s events: 1) fashion law history is doomed to repeat itself; 2) where you can’t sue to get what you want, at least try going the contract route (even if it’s likely to fail, you may get publicity for a ridiculous offer); 3) and models (or in some cases, their parents) are a lot tougher than they look — at least, in the courtroom.

The Case Of The Victoria’s Secret Chili Bomber Has Been Solved!

CHILI

And before you ask — no, we didn’t make this story up. Let’s start with the basics: last April, a woman was banned from a Westchester Victoria’s Secret store after a shoplifting incident. As any normal person would, she responded by throwing a vat of chili at a display case and ruined 65 pairs of underwear, tallying up to a total of $750 worth of damages.

Victoria’s Secret Clerk Shreds Returned Pants In Front Of Customer

0-vsshredding

Here we were, sitting and thinking about what ended up happening to the blazer we returned to Uniqlo this weekend, when all of a sudden a retail story from hell Tampa made it all clear. A woman in that fair city in Florida tried to return a pair of unworn sweatpants to her local Victoria’s Secret. The return was accepted, but then the woman was stunned to watch the salesperson shred them in front of her with a pair of scissors.

PHOTO: What Did Victoria’s Secret Do To Candice Swanepoel?

Victoria’s Secret doesn’t have a particularly good track record when it comes to retouching their e-commerce models. First there was the case of the disappearing thigh, and now there’s the attack of the killer shoulder.

Candice Swanepoel Says Her Weight Is ‘Normal’

64134349

Supermodel Candice Swanepoel has been fielding questions about her weight since this Wednesday, when she showed up to a Victoria’s Secret swimwear event looking noticeably thinner than she has in the past. Of course Swanepoel has always been slender, so to see her looking even skinnier than usual set many tongues wagging and many bloggers blogging. But Swanepoel insists she’s just fine.

10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: March 6-12

This week, Kanye encountered some Fashion Week mishaps, Kate Middleton and McQueen seemed like a match made in heaven and Kate Moss got wild. Also, Anna Wintour wore ugly boots and John Galliano continued to make headlines.

Today in egregious Photoshopping, Victoria’s Secret does some serious legwork on one of its models. Sigh.

WATCH: Andrej Would Have Sex Change For Victoria’s Secret Gig

andrej

Not only is Andrej Pejic the prettiest boy in the whole world, the androgynous model is also awesomely quotable — we could seriously watch his interviews over and over again. His latest (with Hilary Alexander of the Daily Telegraph) is just as interesting as his others, if not more so. Why? Because the 19-year-old says he would consider a sex change if the Victoria’s Secret people came calling.

PHOTOS: Queen Elizabeth II Is Trendier Than You Think

qethumb

When the Daily Telegraph‘s Hilary Alexander pointed out Queen Elizabeth‘s surprisingly trendy military jacket, it got us thinking about the Queen’s style in general. Because when we see the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces in a military jacket designed by her royal dressmaker, we think Balmain. Sure, she wears a lot of pastel suits, but there’s something kind of nuanced about it all.

10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: November 7-13

We learned lots of things this week! The Kardashians‘ deal with MasterCard has turned sour, fake Vuitton bags are hard to come by and Karl Lagerfeld is a cocktail. Also: Angelina Jolie is a four-time Vogue cover girl, and magnetic underwear is a thing that exists.

Though the show itself won’t be seen by the general public until November 30th, Victoria’s Secret held its annual fashion show extravaganza last night and the pictures today are worth a thousand words. Let’s take an annotated look, shall we?

Katy Perry is no stranger to sequins and glitter, and that’s a good thing — she’ll be wearing a lot of them at this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

A Brief, Feathered Retrospective Of VS Angel Wings

Every November Victoria’s Secret puts on their annual T&A fashion show, and every year we keep close tabs on the crazy winged creations the company comes up with. They’ve been shaped like bows and snowflakes! They’ve been made out of flowers and balloons! An angel’s wings are a big deal! Izabel Goulart reportedly cried when she got fitted for hers.

Doutzen Kroes Now Living In Wedded Dutch Matrimony

doutzenandsunnery

Victoria’s Secret must have something to do with matchmaking and fertility, because angel Doutzen Kroes is now officially off the market. The Dutch supermodel got married to music producer Sunnery James Sunday. Thirty of their closest friends and family members watched them exchange vows at a small, private ceremony in Kroes’ hometown, Eastermar.

Adriana Lima Doesn’t Get To Eat Carbs Until Next Month

In a job where you’re constantly surrounded by people who are so pretty they get paid for it, it’s actually quite comforting to know how hard some models work to maintain their professional good looks. That list, apparently, includes new Head Angel Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

Heidi Klum To Star In Ann Taylor Holiday Campaign

61858711

So. Heidi Klum hasn’t been a former Victoria’s Secret Angel for two weeks, and she’s already landed another job. The supermodel and TV host will reprise her role as the face of Ann Taylor, replacing actress Naomi Watts, and will star in the brand’s holiday campaign again this year. Which, OK. Cool. She’s still working and getting paid and whatnot. And while we certainly don’t want to insult her newfound home, does anyone else think it’s a little bit of a step, well, down?

Katy Perry And Akon To Headline Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Our countdown to this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has begun — well, OK. It started as soon as last year’s show ended. And word has it that this year’s performers will be Katy Perry and Akon.
