Victoria’s Secret Harlequin Fantasy Bra

October 23, 2009 by Bruna

Mark your calendars everyone because the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is airing on CBS December 1st! And from what I hear, this year’s Fantasy bra is going to be a huge show-stopper.

Marissa Miller was the lucky Angel chosen to model the exclusive, luxurious and diamond-encrusted Harlequin Fantasy Bra, which was designed exclusively for the retailer by a team of 15 designers and craftsmen from famed jeweler Damiani.

The bra, which is actually an embroidered Very Sexy Plunge Multi-Way, is valued at a whopping $3 million because it features a very rare 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant, which is then surrounded by over 2,350 brilliant-cut white-, champagne- and cognac-colored diamonds, bringing it to a total of about 150 carats! Damiani does all of its work by hand and said 800 hours went into making the piece.

Look for the Victoria’s Secret Christmas catalog, which should be arriving in your mailboxes any day now, to check out the glistening bra up close, modeled by Miller.

See all the Angels plus musical performances by the Black Eyed Peas at the VS’s holiday infused lingerie runway show Tuesday, December 1st at 10 p.m.

Victoria’s Secret Expands Bra Size Range

September 28, 2009 by Kelly

Wow – here’s something I didn’t see coming! While looking at the Victoria’s Secret website today, I noticed a new section of bras – DDD! Of course I immediately clicked to see, and found a selection of 12 bras available in sizes 32DDD – 40DDD. These fuller-figure bras are not only full coverage but also demi, plunge, minimizer, t-shirt, and balconet styles.

Shocked, I looked to see if there were any other new bra categories available and I found an AA section with 10 bras available in sizes 32AA and 34AA.

Congratulations and hats off to you, Victoria’s Secret! We are thrilled to know that the largest lingerie chain in the US is beginning to cater to more of the country’s women.

Victoria’s Secret Finally Opens in Canada

September 9, 2009 by Bruna

Limited Brands, the parent company of Victoria’s Secret and La Senza, will finally be bringing the major lingerie brand to Canada this year, starting with Ontario.

The first four stores, which will be Victoria’s Secret Pink Outlets, will open next month. The country’s first Victoria’s Secret flagship opening will follow in spring 2010.

Unfortunately, images aren’t available yet, but here’s a shot of the Victoria’s Secret Flagship in NYC. If the Canadians are lucky enough, their flagship store will have a similarly classy and elegant layout.

Victoria’s Secret Fall 2009 Preview

August 27, 2009 by Kelly

Autumn is just around the corner here in the US, and the chain has plans for the country’s lingerie drawers. You can look forward to some ruffle bra and garter panty sets, soft colors, tuxedo details, and chemises that look perfectly cozy for snuggling up in front of a fire. There were also a few surprises, including a slightly punky bustier/crinoline combination and a black, sheer, floor-length gown. It also looks like Victoria’s Secret is concentrating on very basic items and loungewear in the upcoming season, so there may be an absence of frills which would be bad news for girly girls!
