The runway show will also feature the $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra designed by renowned Italian jeweler Damiani and worn by Supermodel Adriana Lima.
It consists of more than 3,000 brilliant cut white diamonds (60 carats in total), light blue sapphires, and oval-shaped topazes (another 82 carats), which are all set in 18 karat white gold.
According to VS, the masterpiece "took six Damiani craftsmen 1500 hours of full-time labor" to craft, with each diamond being hand-set.
"I finally feel like two million bucks!," Lima told StyleList.
This is the second time the Brazilian beauty has modeled a Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra -- she was bestowed the honor of wearing the Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra in 2008, worth a whopping $5 million.
Tough Love outfit includes studded scanties and an off-the-shoulder corset. The stylists matter-of-factly adjusted her bits and pieces, making her cleavage even more dramatic. That is always a good thing
The Country Girl ensemble is sweeter, with a violet gingham bra, sleeves with tiered ruffles, and lace-up white booties. Throughout, the towering heels are by Giuseppe Zanotti.
It was an especially exciting session since the Brazilian beauty had just learned that she was one of the Angels selected to wear the coveted wings on the 2010 runway. And MV Agrees.
Strutting in the giant, black-and-white feathered creations, Ambrosio broke into a sunny grin. "They're fantastic!" she enthused, calling the look one of her all-time favorites. "I could easily wear this in Carnival in Brazil." - we think so...
Along with the wings, the heavenly creature wore thigh-high, chain-trimmed boots, and a monokini hand-painted in dark olive and gold.
Ambrosio believes exercise is key to feeling good, no matter what your body type. "It hurts but it feels good; it makes you feel confident," she says. Like many celebs, she's a fan of Pilates. For the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she worked with a trainer for about a month to prepare.
Hailing from Santa Barbara, California, Katy Perry, the two-time Grammy nominated singer, released her first album, One of the Boys in 2008, which sold five million copies. She just released her follow-up album entitled Teenage Dream which spawned two #1 hits, the title track and California Gurls, which took only four weeks to reach the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. She was nominated in 2009 for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her hit single "I Kissed A Girl" and again in 2010 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her hit single "Hot 'n' Cold." Ms. Perry will perform the third single off Teenage Dream, "Firework," on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

"We are excited about providing all established and new models this great opportunity to showcase their talent and realize their modeling potential," founder Oscar Toscano stated. "Opening our private studio in Riverside, Ca. to this unique casting and offering talent and select photographers a chance to work under our expertise in a nationally known studio lot is great experience and networking opportunity."
“We are using this event as a proving ground for our model shoot expo concept. New and existing talent can come and pose in more diverse surroundings then any “Mansion” or “lot” with talented photographers. There is a four thousand square foot, two story studio building, outdoor water gardens and unique structures and several auto and custom bike props to choose from. All models (glamour, fashion, fetish, bikini, import, Gothic, non-nude) are encouraged to attend this event. We are also providing skilled makeup and hair dressers. Ladies should bring several wardrobe changes to show off all the looks they posses.” added Oscar Toscano.
In addition, several sponsors will be on hand to review talent for potential future modeling opportunities. Authorized media and Spanish television stations will also be on hand to cover this event. Models will receive limited edition Model Vanity Clothing as well. The event concludes with a dinner sponsored by TiosTacos.com at 5pm. After party to follow.
All the talent attending this event will be featured on our site with the best images on display from all participating photographers. Online visitors can learn more about the models and cast their vote for their favorite girl at ModelVanity.NET.
“We have experienced a huge response since we announced this event from talent throughout the area. Over 150 candidates requested to attend this event from every ethnic type, but we are limiting attendance to 30 girls this time, “commented Oscar. “We are still reserving two more spots for one male and one female model that would like to attend.”
The event will kick off at 9 am. with a workshop for all photographers attending. “Using Adobe Lightroom in your digital work flow” will teach basic meta data techniques. A small discussion on ways to earn money from photography will conclude the mini workshop. Presentation is sponsored by ProImageVault.com.

In the pristine world of white male briefs, it's war. On the one side is David Beckham, currently more male icon than soccer hero, his taut body in Emporio Armani underpants in a vast street poster ad in Milan.
On the opposing side is Michelangelo's "David" - or at least how the sculpture might have looked had the Florentine burghers insisted on a cover-up. Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce launched their riposte over the weekend as a private-collection calendar showing the heroic, muscular male.
The David vs. "David" standoff marks the moment that underwear has come out of the drawers and off the shelves to become, to men's fashion, the female equivalent of the handbag. It is an accessory - and even a necessity - that can be turned into big bucks.
Behind Giorgio Armani's focus on Beckham, which has roots in the cozy relationship he has developed with international soccer stars, is the realization that although one pair of pants may look much like another, branding with celebrity endorsement gives sales superpower.
"Never before has the world been so interested in legends - and sports stars reach another group of people," says Armani. "The day after we announced the Beckham collaboration, we got great results both commercially and image wise."

Open with a casual glance at the gray-haired man at a sidewalk table at Downtown Cipriani, who appears to be wearing a rodent pelt as an ascot as he quaffs white wine and nuzzles a raven-haired model with a British accent.
Let your eye flit a few blocks uptown to a booth against the south wall of the Coffee Shop on Union Square, where a dark-haired man in a baseball cap and sunglasses is eating herbed French fries desultorily with a fork, while Samantha, a next-to-the-last-round loser from the eighth “America’s Next Top Model,” snuggles against him.
Finally, track a few tables over to the banquette near the hostess station. Zoom in on Oscar Batori, who has just turned 21.
He is 6-foot-3, lean and English, with a faintly menacing sharpness to his face, which bears a resemblance to that of a young Mick Jagger.
Two years ago, Mr. Batori was working as a male model earning about $75 a day, sharing an apartment with others and eating ramen noodles for dinner. Two years from now, who knows where he will be. But last week, he was in his element: 21 and good-looking, during a week when youth and beauty hold full value.

To the uninformed they look like the kind of nerdy boys that couldn't get the girl at the school disco, but after years of losing out to their beefy peers, the skinny male is having his day. As London Fashion Week kicks off this weekend, stick-thin men will be parading the catwalks promoting an ideal of male beauty that is a far cry from the bulked-up models of the Eighties and Nineties.
But as indie kids and fashionistas across the country squeeze themselves into the latest drainpipe jeans, fashion's move towards a male size zero has a more serious consequence: it heralds an era where men – like women – feel pressure to conform to a waif-like body image.
The masculine ideal has undergone a step change, putting pressure on young men to conform to a new body shape. The fashion expert and agent Johnathan Phang explained: "Suddenly, you've got lots of guys becoming models who never thought they could be; the sort of people who were normally considered weeds or nerdy-looking."

The annual male fashion show begins at 11:15 a.m., Feb. 11, at the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center, with each participant strutting his stuff in a red dress, wig, make-up and jewelry.
“This is one of our most fun, most anticipated events of the year,” said Dee Clark, RN, with the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center. “The men who model in our annual fashion show go to great lengths to wear the best red outfit,” she said.
Tickets to the fundraiser are $10 and reservations must be made in advance. Guests can pay $1 per vote for their favorite model, “buying” an unlimited amount of votes. The male model collecting the most votes/money is named winner, with all proceeds donated to the local AHA “Go Red For Women” campaign.

Then a funny thing happened. The models were also downsized. Where the masculine ideal of as recently as 2000 was a buff 6-footer with six-pack abs, the man of the moment is an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt.
Nowhere was this more clear than at the recent men’s wear shows in Milan and Paris, where even those inured to the new look were flabbergasted at the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished. Not altogether surprisingly, the trend has followed the fashion pack back to New York
Wasn’t it just a short time ago that the industry was up in arms about skinny models? Little over a year ago, in Spain, designers were commanded to choose models based on a healthy body mass index; physicians were installed at Italian casting calls; Diane von Furstenberg, the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, called a conference to ventilate the issue of unhealthy body imagery and eating disorders among models.
The models in question were women, and it’s safe to say that they remain as waiflike as ever. But something occurred while no one was looking. Somebody shrunk the men.

How Rory Marshall became the pin-up boy of a global fashion house. Just before meeting the main man a small group of Ralph Lauren's staff asked Marshall to introduce himself and tell them something interesting about his life.
The conversation went like this:
Rory: "Hello, my name's Rory Marshall, I live in a small Yorkshire town called Ilkley where I live in a little house which was actually once owned by Enid Blyton."
Staff: "Wow! Gee! That's amazing!! Enid Blyton."
Rory: "Do you know who Enid Blyton is?"
Staff: "Er, no."
Fortunately they did know a potential icon when they saw one and Marshall, 29, landed himself just about the top gig a model can get – the new face of Polo.
Alongside fronting campaigns for Calvin Klein or Georgio Armani it doesn't get much bigger than that.

NEW YORK (AP) — The fall trends shown Saturday at New York Fashion Week are bound to cause a collective shiver: Along with chunky turtlenecks and peacoats, prepare for super-short miniskirts.
The leggy look was big at shows for Nicole Miller, Lacoste, BCBG Max Azria, Erin Fetherston, Abaete and Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat line — among the early previews for editors, retailers and stylists at the tents at Bryant Park.
Most minis were paired with opaque tights and ballet flats, a good sign for women who bought into those trends last fall. Treat those things with care and you'll get another season out of them.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week still has plenty of time for new "it" items to emerge. Runway shows run through Feb. 8 with Oscar de la Renta, Diane von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and a new incarnation of Bill Blass yet to preview their collections.

Madhur Bhandarkar is known for his realistic films, and it is a known fact that all his films have created controversies before release, but this time things are different. His forthcoming film Fashion finds itself in the midst of controversy from the very beginning.
And the latest story doing the rounds is that Madhur Bhandarkar has shot a wardrobe malfunction scene with Kangana Ranaut. The scene was based on the infamous Carol Gracias wardrobe malfunction incident that happened at the Lakme Fashion Week in 2006According to news, Carol Gracias was also present when Madhur shot the scene.
It can be recalled that Kangana is playing model Geetanjali Nagpal (a model who found herself on the road to self destruction) and debutante actress model Mugdha Ghodse is playing Carol's role in Fashion .
So the question is: Why did Kanagna shoot for the controversial scene when Mughda should have? We contacted to Bhandarkar but the filmmaker chose not to comment on it. "I am not going to talk about the issue. Let the confusion remain!" he told us.

When fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo started his career, for a while it seemed as though he would get no further than the dole queue. "People would say to me, 'I'm not sure I can hire you, I'm not sure what you're doing. What is your style?' I was mortified and thought I was never going to make a living as a photographer."
The problem was that curiosity had got the better of the young Norwegian and he couldn't help but embrace every photographic technique going. His work incorporated everything from X-rays and 3-D scanning to hi-tech manipulation and laborious hand-painted retouching. "If I've got a style," says Sundsbo, "it's that I've got no style."
