2011 VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW RECAP

2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

One of the events I look forward to most every year is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, where Music merges with the World of Women's Fashion into a slick, tightly-produced 60-minute Spectacle. This year Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Jay-Z joined the Victoria's Secret Angels in New York City for the Show taped earlier this month. 

Although many will argue that all of this is all Male-catering and Female-deprecating, I don't really see it that way.  The Show is a celebration of Beauty, Self-Love and Glamour.  The positivity that emanates from these Models is infectious and kinda makes me envious that there isn't a Victor's Secret!

Models who walked this year include: Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Anne Vyalitsina, Izabel Goulart, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss, Anja Rubik, Shanina Shaik, Constance Jablonski, Lily Donaldson, Karmen Pedaru, Emanuela De Paula, Cameron Russell, Toni Garrn, Liu Wen, Anais Mali, Joan Smalls, Maryna Linchuk, Lindsay Ellingson, Caroline Winberg, Sui He, Flavia de Oliveira, Lais Ribeiro, Bregje Heinen, Julia Stegner and Behati Prinsloo.

Kerr, Wife of Actor Orlando Bloom had the honour of wearing the Fantasy Treasure Bra designed by London Jewellers, valued at $2.5 million with 3,400 precious stones including Pearls, Diamonds, Aquamarines,and Citrines in white and yellow 18 Karat Gold, finished with tassel of Diamonds.

SUPERMODEL CHANEL IMAN IN TORONTO FOR VICTORIA'S SECRET

Mr. Will-W. & Chanel Iman

In 2007, Vogue's Anna Wintour called her "one of the world's next top Supermodels" and she actually now has fulfilled that prediction less than three years later. 20 year-old Chanel Iman after having been in the business for seven years, has seen a meteoric rise to the top of the Fashion world in less than seven years.

Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Dolce & Gabanna, Valentino, John Galliano, Vera Wang, Stella McCartney. These are just a few of the Fashion Houses which have handpicked Iman to don their pieces on the Runway. And just last year, she had received her much-heralded Angel Wings, making her officially a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Now residing in New York City, Iman is known as the most prolific African-American Models of her generation. In fact, she is only the third Black Model ever to have graced the cover of Vogue and at the same time, she holds the distinction of being the youngest Model ever to have appeared on its cover.

Did I mention she's also an avid Philanthropist too? Iman is known too for her support of the HerShe Foundation for Teen Girls who come from Foster Homes, helping them transition into Society.

The Angel herself has descended upon Toronto officially and she's in-town to do some Press tomorrow including appearances on CTV's The Marilyn Denis Show and a more publicized Meet & Greet at newly-launched Victoria's Secret - Eaton Centre between 4 to 6 PM. The visit is Iman's second in recent months.
