General Discussion Pinned

This  casting is mostly high fashion... i'm not loving it🙃

Layla and Maty definitely I can back for the above reasons, and Neelam also was a name I could read on the wings photo Isabeli originally posted. Not sure about Vivienne Rohner but I’ve seen her rumored on several fanpages too

I agree @sarinka, I’m not sure what they were expecting hiring Piergiorgio Del Moro as he has a lot of favorites he’s casting for the show who don’t seem like traditiona VS models at all 😕

Layla and Neelam

I am also surprised by this cast, VS was under a lot of fire due to lack of diversity in terms of body types and so on, they said the show was coming back all new blablabla but when you look at the cast with the exception of Tyra, Paloma, Devyn and Ashley this cast doesn't scream body diversity?. Not that I care about the whole body diversity thing, but if they did this show hoping to get good press and "cleaning" their image, idk if that's going to work out and it may actually backfire  

In my opinion hf models don't fit VS at all, but we'll see, maybe they'll surprise us. And tbh i don't see the diversity they sold either. Also, PG has a thing against blondes? Lol

This cast reminds me of the VSFS 2017’s. One of the worst castings in my opinion.

I’m disappointed by the casting tbh. I was expecting more voluptuous and glamorous models. High fashion is not VS coded imo. I wish they would cast more Guess type of models. They are the only models that still give me bombshell vibes like the 2005/2007 shows. Emily Deyt-Aysage, Liza Makhu, Oriola Marashi, Yeva Smolenska would have been the perfect type of models that fit the OG bombshell look. 
Other VS models I really wanted to see are Elsa Hosk, Frida Aaasen, Bella Hadid and Irina Shayk. 
I’m afraid this is gonna be a disappointment and feel a bit childish tbh. I miss when the models gave off a more mysterious and seductive type of vibe on the runway. 

Irina is walking too! There’s an Irina Sh- on the wings, which can’t be Sharipova who’s no longer signed in NY

I agree the cast is 100% tokenism and favoritism

Who do you think should have been selected ahead of the ones already announced?

Magdalena Frackowiak for sure! I’ve always loved her and she never failed.

Exclusion of ale,elsa,bella,kendall,lorena,jorduan and kelsey surprised me too. 

Doutzen i think doesn't want it. Kelly got married recently so i'm not too mad at that. Miranda is expecting a baby. isn't she?

Some of those who are not announced till now I hope are yasmin,vita,frida and blanca 🤞 

I think some of you are forgetting that it's entirely possible that some of the models declined to walk the show, I personally don't think Elsa has any interest in doing anything with VS again, same applies to Miranda. I think it's sweet how some girls like Adriana and Candice have stayed with the brand for so long, but note everyone wants that. So we'll never know if girls were not cast or they declined

Victoria's Secret is not that big of a deal anymore, so yes, probably some of them are not interested, and others, like Romee, chose other work over the show.

Still, i don’t really think they did a proper casting call because a lot of models are still interested in the VSFS. Looks like Piergiorgio just selected his favs.

not having Lorena hurts. She should’ve had more moments but the show got canceled right when started being in it. 

Georgia was spotted yesterday in NYC
