Backstage Secrets: A Decade Behind the Scenes of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

by Russell James, Ed Razek, Liu Wen (Contributor)

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is, by far, the most watched fashion event in the world. The biggest names in the modeling and music industries have been a part of the event… and so has photographer Russell James. Likening himself to “the janitor in the White House,” James has had the most privileged and special access, and his photographs tell the stories that happen behind the scenes of this global cultural phenomenon. His special relationship with the talent and the brand has allowed him to capture the frantic energy and excitement from backstage, where no other cameras have been allowed to go. Inside these pages, you’ll find candid moments with Victoria’s Secret models including Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gisele Bündchen, Gigi Hadid, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Liu Wen, and musicians such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Rhianna, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake. More than anything, this book allows its audience to take part in the making of the show.
