It’s that time of the year again where every girl sits down to watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and gets slightly depressed, shortly followed by a huge rush of motivation to go to the gym. The models are absolutely amazing, yes, but today I’m going to focus on my favourite looks from this year’s runway. Although it’s not all dresses and ball gowns, but extremely sexy lingerie, it still takes a very skilled eye and many months to create these stunning pieces.
Serka Cura, the designer behind the famous angel wings, recently said “Nothing is hard. It’s easy, you just need time” The Swarovski-sponsored set worn by Lily Donaldson took more than three months to finish and is sprinkled with more than 150,000 crystals. After the initial designs are drawn up, there is a team of people who create the stunning pieces, and also make sure they stand up properly! One of those people that makes sure the wings function and stand up is Armando Farfan. Despite the challenges, Farfan says there’s a heavy respect for sticking within the aesthetic and working boundaries set by Victoria’s Secret. “I just really relish in making everything beautiful; it’s a wonderful thing,” he said.
“The results are spectacular but no one ever sees the 100,000 hours that go into it” – Farfan
I’ve put together a few of my favourite looks from this year’s show below, so make sure to let me know which looks you loved! Honestly, can you imagine being able to wear one of these pieces?! ARGHH! Also, what did you think of this years show? I’m pretty devastated that two of my favourite angels Cara Delevigne and Miranda Kerr didn’t take part!
