Sexy Models Get Cheeky in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in New York today, with 38 models taking to the runway to model sexy lingerie designs and massive wings. Aussie Angel Miranda Kerr stormed down the catwalk in the Fantasy Treasure Bra worth $2.5 million, and another local girl, former Make Me a Supermodel contestant Shanina Shaik, also made her VS debut. With performances from Maroon 5, Kanye West (and special surprise guest Jay-Z!) and Nicki Minaj, celebrity guests like Orlando Bloom, Russell Simmons and Beyoncé were entertained as the girls modelled different, cheeky looks.

The Lake And Stars: Mother Models Lingerie With Her Teen Daughter

Sexy? Beautiful? Extremely awkward? We just can't decide.

Then again, that's exactly what Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman, co-owners of the New York-based lingerie and swimwear label, are aiming for. They have us talking about it and have you reading about it, looking at it, and possibly walking into their new store because of it.

"A lot of the themes that we're dealing with are about psychology between women as they're growing up and dealing with family politics or women in the workplace," Zilberman told The Huffington Post. "We always poke fun at these ideas that people take really seriously, but we're trying to make it so that people can talk about it and have a sense of humor about it."

The mother and daughter pictured in the campaign are not models by trade, Zilberman said. They are just her next-door neighbors in Brooklyn, everyday women, who seem to have an interesting relationship. "They're always so loving and tender towards each other," Zilberman said.

"That's what really drives the collection and what drives the photos: these women who are experiencing something that we're not necessarily experiencing. I wanted to present portraits of them so that people would see the chemistry that they have. I think it's really rare, you don't see a lot of that."

No, we certainly don't see mother-daughter duos embracing in sheer underthings. Scantily clad women is nothing new in fashion advertisements, but there is something extremely unconventional about the way The Lake And Stars had the mother-daughter pair pose so provocatively.

"There's no shock value here. We're not trying to make people feel uncomfortable in order to provoke dialogue," Zilberman said. "We're just trying to confront some of these issues that I think people aren't really talking about so much."

Zilberman, who is in her early 30s, said that the goal of the campaign is to spark discussion about how younger generations of women relate to older generations of women, and vice versa.

"So for our customer, for our viewer to see these photographs, you're confronted with this feeling of 'who's the sexy one?' Because there's always someone who's sexier and there's always some kind of competition going on; there's always a tenderness going on; there's always a tension," she said.

"We're opening it up to think about: Is it OK for a mother and daughter to feel tender toward each other? And what happens when they're in sexy clothing?"

Taking a look at some of The Lake And Stars' latest campaign images below, have they gone too far? Or is this a creative way to start an important conversation?

3 plus-size models grace Vogue Italia in sexy lingerie to fight anorexia

London, June 3 (ANI): In a bid to fight anorexia, 'Vogue Italia' has featured three plus-size models for the cover of their July issue.

Rather than hide their figures in floaty dresses, or cut them off at the waist, the three models, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley, appear on the cover in their underwear.

The move came after editor Franca Sozzani started an online petition against pro-anorexia websites.

"Fashion has been always blamed as one of the culprits of anorexia, and our commitment is the proof that fashion is ready to get on the frontline and struggle against the disorder," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

Sozzani who had also promised to feature more plus-sized models in the future said:' "Why should these women slim down?

"Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine," she added. (ANI)

Molto bella! Vogue Italia puts plus-sized models in sexy lingerie on June cover

Vogue Italia is throwing the fashion industry a curve by featuring three plus-sized models in lingerie on its June 2011 cover.

Famed fashion photographer Steven Meisel shot Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley in black and white in a photograph reminiscent of 1960's Italian cinema.

The Italian fashion magazine's editor Franca Sozzani likes women to have a little meat on their bones.

She recently launched the online only Vogue Curvy back in February, features style tips, trends and praises the beauty of women like UK pop singer Adele, actress Christina Hendricks and the late screen siren Jane Mansfield and who proudly defy a stick-thin mold.

Sozanni has also taken a stand against websites and blogs that she says advocate anorexia.

"I did some research and found that there are countless pro-anorexia websites and blogs that not only support the disorder, but also urge young people to be competitive about their "body shape" Sozzani said, according to the Telegraph.

"Fashion has been always blamed as one of the culprits of anorexia and our commitment is the proof that fashion is ready to get on the frontline and struggle against the disorder," she said.
