12 Angels Tell All at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

If you could describe how you're feeling today in one word, what would it be?
Aware.

How does the casting for the Victoria's Secret show compare to that of a high fashion show like Chanel or Dior?
The vibe of the show is drastically different, it's much more commercial. The girls who are here are less editorial and are "commercially" pretty, whereas in high fashion you have different kinds of beauties — there are some girls who have really interesting looks to them, which is incredible, but not necessarily for the standard eye. Also, most of the girls here are a bit more curvy than the norm for high fashion shows. But there are a lot of high fashion, editorial models doing the show now, so I think it's great they've started to mix girls.

How does the casting for the Victoria's Secret show compare to that of a high fashion show like Chanel or Dior?
The first big difference is that we have to walk in bathing suits, since it's so much about your body — we have to smile, have to act. In high fashion shows it's much more about the clothes, so it's about a strong, straight walk.

If you could describe how you're feeling today in one word, what would it be?
One word? Overwhelmed! But, I'd also have to say the word of the day is "dream." I feel like I'm living a dream — I know it's a cliche, but growing up watching the supermodels like Gisele, Naomi, Heidi, and Tyra and idolizing them, and today getting to strap on a pair of wings and stride down that runway, it's pretty cool.

Excited!

How does the casting for the Victoria's Secret show compare to that of a high fashion show like Chanel or Vuitton?
When I went to the casting for this show, my heart almost beat out of my chest — I've never been so nervous in my life. You have to put a bikini on, and in a regular casting you don't have to smile and be all happy, so it's very different. Also, with all of the cameras around, it was a lot creepier than normal.

How does the casting for the Victoria's Secret show compare to that of a high fashion show like Chanel or Vuitton?
Usually you go in, they give you a pair of underwear and you do your walk in front of a bunch of people — it's quite nerve-wracking!

It's a long process, but they always pick amazing girls and it's such a great experience and opportunity to be here.
