Victoria's Secret hits catwalk
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — It might be too much to devote an hour of primetime television to long legs, taut tummies and half-bare bottoms and bosoms. So the Victoria's Secret fashion show incorporates elaborate staging and musical performances.
The annual hour-long flesh fest,
featuring songs by will.i.am, Seal and
the Spice Girls, airs 9 p.m. Tuesday
on CBS.
"This is really an event that's anchored in a fashion show," said CBS executive Jack Sussman.
But isn't it essentially an hourlong commercial?
Still, with top talent and a $10 million budget, the Victoria's Secret fashion show is more interesting than most everyday advertisements. This year's show spotlights 61 skimpy outfits worn by more
"To a degree," he said.
than two dozen of the world's most beautiful women.
"The notion that we pander to men or advertise to men is ridiculous, ludicrous" he said. "Maybe 2 percent of our customers are men. Women shop us every day. Guys come in twice a year: Dec. 24 and Feb. 14."
That means each fetching curve is filmed multiple times. The fashion show is performed and taped twice, with the best moments blended into the special.
"A normal fashion show has two, said executive producer Ed Razek. "We have almost as many as the Super Bowl."
Sixteen cameras stationed throughout the Kodak Theater capture the catwalk action from every angle.
Despite the assets on display, the show is for women, Razek said.
The pieces that turn underwear into outfits aren't for sale, said spokeswoman Monica Mitro, but the basic items upon which they're added are. It's all about creating a "lingerie fantasy," she said.
provided by CBS. But overall viewership has declined each year, from more than 9 million in 2002 to just more than 6.5 million last year.
The company shows more than its typical underwear offerings. Each lingerie ensemble is embellished with one-of-a-kind couture creations such as flowing feather skirts and crystal-encrusted accessories.
Women make up slightly more than half of the show's viewers, according to ratings information
"I love that we have people performing on stage while we're working. There isn't any other show like that," she said. "Other fashion shows are a little more quiet, a little more controlled, smaller. This is totally Hollywood."
Seven-time show model Karolina Kurkova said the show was special.
