Edward Razek: Why Victoria’s Models Succeed Off The Runway

Edward Razek: Why Victoria’s Models Succeed Off The Runway

According to a study by Forbes.com if there are institutions that produce winners Victoria’s Secret is that to the modeling industry.

Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks are among the notable alumni of the Victoria’s Secret Brand who have achieved enormous success in the fashion industry.

Many fashion brands use famous actresses to market their product. Victoria’s Secret has shied away from that trend by using impossibly tall vixens that are comfortable sharing their bodies in lingerie. To do this as a career one must have a ton of confidence and fantastic physique. Edward Razek understands this probably more than anyone in the modeling industry.

“I try to encourage all of the women to get involved with the brand, to develop their communication skills and to watch the best examples, like Heidi, to see what they’ve done with their careers,” says Razek. “I am constantly looking for the next Tyra, Gisele or Heidi.”

Razek also understands the importance that his models are professionals. “The notion of girls partying all night and showing up late and throwing cellphones at chauffeurs, you won’t see it, period,” says Razek. While it is true that Naomi has spread her wings on the Victoria’s Secret Runways, it is apparent she didn’t learn her skills from VS. “There are too many good girls (out there) and we won’t deal with divas.”

Victoria’s Secret has also avoided the fashion trap of using anorexic looking models in its ad campaigns. It is true that VS models are leaner and taller than your average girl and they choose women with extraordinarily good looks but they use a fuller, more toned and athletic model than many brands do.

Whatever their secret is, the world loves VS models. Thank you Mr. Razek.

Tyra Banks Wears Cut Up Stockings On Her Face To French Vogue Party (Pics)

Tyra Banks Wears Cut Up Stockings On Her Face To French Vogue Party (Pics)

Dunno what to say about this one except Tyra Banks latest fashion statement left quite an impression – on her face.

At the French Vogue 90th anniversary party (yes I said 90th) supermodel Tyra Banks wanted to wear something very special. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel donned a mask on her face made of cut up stockings. On Tyra’s twitter page she asked her followers, “Guess how I made this French Vogue party mask? It’s homemade. How did I do it though? Guess? It was super cheap.”

Her followers made several guesses thinking it was perhaps a hairnet, curtains, underwear and a wig cap to name a few. Tyra finally alleviated the suspense and announced, “So French Vogue mask is sum cheap fishnet stockings I got n crazy store in Paris! I cut em up and made it y’all. N did my own hair and makeup.”

Other attendees included Alessandria Ambrosio, Gisele Bundchen, Lara Stone, Natalia Vodianova and Kate Moss in a Darth Vader Halloween mask. (Kidding.) But you know if she did it would be all the rage.

I have to wonder if one of her contestants on America’s Next Top Model did the same thing how quickly they would be out of the door?

Recently supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was pictured with models Crystal Renn and Brooklyn Decker. The press had a field day picking apart her weight. Alessandra was reluctant to respond to this fiasco (rightfully so) but has since spoke about it in WWD.

“I have been tiny since I was four an I eat whatever I want,” says Ale. “If I’m two pounds heavier, I’m fat. If I’m skinnier, I’m sick. It’s ridiculous,” she said. “And that’s not coming from agents or designers,” she says.

Alessandra’s preferred methods of working out include: pilates, yoga and running and working out with NYC fitness expert Leandro Carvalho, creator of The Brazilian Butt Lift.

Here are some pics from her WWD shoot.

Brazilian Supermodels Mostly Come From A Tiny State In Brazil And Are Generally White

Brazilian Supermodels Mostly Come From A Tiny State In Brazil And Are Generally White

Gisele Bundchen is the most famous supermodel to come out of Brazil. She is also the highest paid model in the world and according to Forbes the 16th richest woman in entertainment worth over $150 million. Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Alessandra Ambrosio and Isabeli Fontana are also well known Brazilian supermodels. According to the New York Times over 70 percent of the countries models come from 3 southern states which do not reflect the multi-ethnic melting pot that is Brazil. More than half of the Brazilian population is non-white.

“I was always perplexed that Brazil was never able to export a Naomi Campbell, and it is definitely not because of a lack of pretty women,” Erika Palomino, a fashion consultant in Sao Paulo told the Times. “It is embarrassing.”

In Brazil however, non-white women frequently grace the pages of its magazines. It seems that the problem is that few non-white Brazilian models make it to the international catwalks. Sao Paulo Fashion Week has to give at least 10 percent of its spots to African or indigenous models and Brazilian designer Walter Rodrigues opened Rio Fashion Week with 25 black models. Nonwhite women frequently grace the pages of magazines.
