12AM – The team pulls out Candice Swanepoel’s look in preparation for her fitting. This corseted strapless mini dress features a balconette cup shape, with a fitted bodice and a full, sheer tulle caged skirt. The complex boning structure to support the caged skirt took many trials to perfect, with over 40 hours going into draping, patterning, and sewing to archive this refined shape. In total, this piece took over 95 hours of work!
12:30AM – We had the luxury of doing a fitting on Candice in New York prior to arriving in Barcelona so her look fits like a glove. As always she brightens everyone’s mood with her enthusiasm and is excited to be back “on the runway” for VS.
1PM – Our Master Tailor Raul Zevallos has worked with Victoria’s Secret since 1998, and has known Candice since she was very first with the brand, so it was a lovely reunion – and he shared old Victoria’s Secret BTS pH๏τos and stories from back in the day.
