Thousands of women in the world dream of being a model of Victoria's Secret or, at least, having their sculptural silhouettes. But being a goddess of Olympus Lingerie is not so simple. To start, for many Crossfit sessions that you include in your agenda, genetics must be on your part. Victoria's Secret's measures are clearly defined: 86 cm chest, 60 waist and 86 hips. At this point, do you meet these requirements? Well, there is more. The models that parade for the brand measure an average of 1.76 centimeters. It is not surprising that Kate Upton would never be part of this paradise with wings ... nor does she miss her, we add. In fact, the Cameron Russell model, which did parade during the 2011 and 2012 shows, confessed from their experience that although the models “have the finest thighs in the world, the brightest hair imaginable and the most chic clothes on the planet, They are probably women with more physical insecurities in the world. ” If the mortals are overwhelmed by the bikini when summer arrives, imagine what must be parade in lingerie before the world in the middle of November.

As perfect as their measures are, the tops figures are chiselled based on endless body contour touches.The angels undergo spray sessions in the body thought millimeterly.Jimmy Coco takes care of this work, and confesses to the magazine 'Harper's Bazaar' that each model receives personalized sessions two days before the parade.On the day of the show they are subjected to a final review in which any imperfect based on a bronzer is retouched, which ends up fixing with a spray that ensures that the resulting brunette remains intact intact of sweat proof.Because as much as the models parade in underwear, the heavy wings and intense spotlights make sweat irremediable.

Their hair is also the result of artifice.The models must take extensions on the day of the parade almost by default to show off those bulky hair.A 'WWD' reporter confessed to having heard Karlie Kloss ask her stylist with dread how many more extensions were going to put.Maria Borges has been one of the few tops that did not need extensions thanks to the short hairstyle of her.Her hair requires 60 plates and 40 lacquers, handled by 32 hair experts.Although the makeup that look at the parade aims to be natural, 32 makeup artists are needed in the 'backstage' to perfect the already perfect faces of the models.

However accustomed they are to walk in heels, once they discover what models they have to wear, the girls walk on the shoes chosen during the trials and the costume tests to keep the balance and not suffer any mishap on the catwalk.The tops are unable to change their attire alone and have the help of various stylists, in charge of adjusting to their body the designs and placing the heavy wings to the silhouettes of the lucky ones who carry them.We do not want to imagine the drama to be supposed to go to the bathroom ...

Goodbye to the big catwalks

It is not enough to look perfect to be a firm's model.Their contracts require that a minimum of 50 days a year be dedicated to the brand, which is why many leave the Olympus.On the other hand, their chiseled gym silhouettes are not suitable for many of the parades of the big brands, which still advocate silhouettes closest to the 'Heroin Chic' than to the 'Bombshell' universe, so being a model of Victoria's'sSecret is for many the reason why they cannot go into capital fashion.Fortunately, the one Olivier Rousteing always has on his shows with Victoria's Secret tops has made the models expand their work spectrum and more and more the brands that bet on healthier silhouettes in their parades.The media celebrated, for example, the presence of the exuberant Doutzen Kroes in the Autumn/Winter 2010 parade of Louis Vuitton and Irina Shayk in the Givenchy shows.

Their contracts also include clauses in which it is detailed how they have to behave in their social networks, in which they cannot be shown as night animals and in which they have to raise their training sessions to reinforce the idea that their bodies are the result of thesport and not extreme diets.In spite of everything, it is impossible to forget those statements by Adriana Lima in which she confessed to follow a liquid diet based on protein and egg powders nine days before the parade and not be able to drink water 12 hours before.Adriana claimed to have a nutritionist that measured her muscle mass, her percentage of fat and her levels of fluid retention constantly.As if that were not enough, the models train twice a day three weeks before the parade and wake up at dawn on the day of the show to train for the last time before the big day.

In short, having a contract full of zeros is no burden, but having to dedicate your life and your body to get it should not be so grateful.We are not surprised that the models are eager to parade on November 28, because only at the end they can enjoy a good hamburger.In the end, not having wings is not going to be so terrible, right?
