Before we take a deep plunge in the biggest and most expensive fashion extravaganzas of the year, lets take a sneak peak at debuting Angel Martha Hunt’s exceptional runway look for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2015. The 26 year American model flaunts Swarovski’s bespoke, sparkling corset at The Lexington Avenue Armory in Manhattan.
Sophia Neophitou, the collection creative director of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, revealed to WWD that Martha’s dazzling corset is created by Parisian couturier Serkan Cura and studded with over 90,000 gold, red, emerald and blue crystal beads and pendants.
The newly crowned Angel also dons illuminated wings which have been embellished with over 20,000 crystals and 130 feet of LED lights. Featuring 1,200 individual lights, the wings glow with the help of a battery-pack, weighing in at 19 pounds.
Hunt explained that she has worn wings before, but these are special. They’re heavier than ever before and light up like a firework.
Though Hunt first walked the Victoria’s Secret runway show in 2013, this year she is making a glamorous statement as an Angel that too with lighted wings. She added, “It’s a completely different experience now. I’ve come into my own more. Clearly, the Angel title helps with that. It feels better going into the show as an Angel; it’s a self-esteem boost.”
A total of 47 models will be featured, including a dozen fresh faces, of which Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are the most buzzed about.
