World’s highest paid models 2015

by

The highest paid models between June 2014 and June 2015 according to Forbes.

1. Gisele Bundchen – 2. Adriana Lima, Cara Delevingne – 4. Doutzen Kroes – 5. Natalia Vodianova – 6. Joan Smalls, Miranda Kerr – 8. Karlie Kloss, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lara Stone

Gisele Bündchen has topped the list since 2007 and by a huge margin these days. The Brazilian is a highly successful businesswoman though, so large part of her income may come from her business instead of usual modelling works.

Victoria’s Secret Angels – i.e. Lindsay Ellingson, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, Doutzen Kroes and Behati Prinsloo – lip syncing I Knew You Were Trouble, originally by American pop darling Taylor Swift, who will be one of the guest performers at the upcoming mega fashion show in New York.

Victoria’s Secret Angels Deck the Halls

by

American premium lingerie brand Victoria’s Secrets has summoned its Angels to wish everyone a Merry Christmas by performing a classic carol. Visually pleasing, but as one of the ladies said… it’s not fair to make a model sings.

Featured in this video are Candice Swanepoel, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldridge, Lindsay Ellingson and Erin Heatherton.

Victoria’s Secret Angels

Victoria’s Secret Angels are the brand’s contract models. The company introduced the idea in a commercial in 1997, which featured Helena Christensen, Karen Mulder, Daniela Pestova, Stephanie Seymour and Tyra Banks.

The commercial was a huge success, and the Angels began featuring in various advertisements and the brand’s annual fashion show.

There are dozens of Angels past and present. Notable ones (not mentioned above) include Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum and Behati Prinsloo etc.

Not all models who have worked with the brand (catwalks, photo shoots etc.) are classified as Angels though. For example Isabeli Fontana and Angela Lindvall who had walked the Victoria’s Secret fashion show numerous times.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010 video

A 12-minute video summary of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York last month. The models who walked the runway include Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Liu Wen and Chanel Iman etc. There were also live performances by singers Akon and Katy Perry.

Victoria’s Secret is an American brand of women’s premium lingerie, clothing and beauty products. It only started global expansion in recent years but many people already know about the brand; its annual show and models (aka the Angels) probably play a huge part in that.

The first VS Fashion Show was held in 1995. It made its network TV broadcast debut in 2001, and it introduced live music acts by pop singers in the same year too. The show also became more widespread overseas in recent years because of YouTube and other online media.

I first watched the show in 2006. I like the event, not going to lie about that; it becomes a bit boring after a few years though, feels like watching the same thing all over again. A summarised video like this one seems about right though.
