The Impossible Requirements of a Victoria Secret Model
According to Victoria’s Secret Chief Marketing Officer Edward Razik, fewer than 100 women in the world have the potential to be a Victoria’s Secret model.
Many young girls grow up idolizing Victoria Secret super models. Also known as VS angels. Close observers may notice most of the VS angels are tall and slim. Coincidence? Possibly. Requirement? Most likely. So, today the Victoria Secret qualifications will be broken down.
1. Height, Age, and Measurements
VS angel height requirements usually vary anywhere between 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall. But, along with height, body measurements are also required. This is because they prefer an hourglass figure in order to model their clothing, such as lingerie. Therefor, a 34-inch bust, a 24-inch waist and 34-inch hips are desired. However, minor variations are acceptable if the model has more desirable attributes, such as a beautiful face. Apart from height and measurements, even age is crucial to become an VS angel. Younger models are much more preferred unless an older model has a very strong foot in the modeling industry. So, anywhere from 18–22 years of age.
2. Physique
Runway models are unlike any other models. They do not get the advantages of photoshop like Instagram or magazine models do. Therefor, runway models must be in top physical shape. Minimum requirements include smooth skin, silky hair, and a toned body. But, all in all, the most crucial part of a VS angel is the models face. The model must have a small nose, high cheek bones, full lips, and very chiseled features.
| 3. Personality
Victoria’s Secret Chief Marketing Officer, Edward Razek, puts it bluntly: “We don’t deal with divas.” So, believe it or not, no matter how beautiful the model, if they are reluctant and are not able to work well with others they will not be accepted. Victoria Secret makes sure to pick ladies who will represent their brand positively. Not someone who may create a bad reputation. So, kind hearted, respectable, and well behaved models who will not tarnish the Victoria Secret’s reputation are the models Victoria Secret will keep an eye out for.
