2015 VS Swim Special: Joan Smalls - Behind the Scenes (2)

♥ Part 2 of 2 ♥

Joan Smalls has worked for quite a few years now for Victoria's Secret. She is not an angel but perhaps should at least have been considered. She really did not get good prints published from this 2015 Victoria's Secret Swim photoshoot and was only briefly seen in the accompanying televised special. I kept trying to savor quick glimpses of her and just was left wanting to see more of her especially since this swim special was beeing televised in Puerto Rico, the land where she was born and raised.

♥ Part 1 of 2 ♥

Victoria's Secret made the decision to not air a televised swim special for 2017. They have also decided to stop the VS Swim line and just offer swimwear for the VS PINK division. I am hoping in the future they reverse this decision.

When Victoria's Secret first launched the swim televised special in 2015 and then repeated a special in 2016, it seemed to be orchestrated well. They have been selling swimwear for many years prior to having a televised swim special and perhaps wanted better sales results from this expensive exposure.

Let's take a walk down memory lane to see Joan Smalls filming footage for the 2015 VS Swim Special in her hometown Puerto Rico where Maroon 5 performed live on the beachy sands.

VSFS 2013: Joan Smalls (Birds of Paradise)


Puerto Rican model Joan Smalls just shows up everywhere in the world of fashion. I can not keep up with her body of work because she is one of the most successful models currently in the industry. She outworks other top black models like Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn which says a lot because both of their resumes are quite impressive. In fact, all three of these top black models were handpicked by Beyonce Knowles to star in her newly released music video entitled Yonce'. Joan Smalls is featured in this video grilled out, sexy, urban and stylish. Quite a different vibe than how she looks on the Victoria's Secret runway.

For the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she wore a beautiful pink bra and panty ensemble complete with garter belt and adorned with sexy peacock feathers. Love the romantic bow embellishments. Great lingerie look for Valentine's Day. Joan Smalls has a fierce runway walk and looks so pretty and elegantly sexy for Victoria's Secret.

VSFS 2011 "Super Angels" Segment: Joan Smalls





I have never been big on comic book characters but I do find the "Super Angels" Segment of the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to be quite a unique runway show. Kanye West performs his 2007 hit "Stronger" and introduces the song and the segment informing the audience that he was supposed to perform this hit song at the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show but had to decline because of his mother passing away during this same year. He dedicated this live performance to his superhero, his mother, who he now states is his superangel gesturing upward to the skies above.

Joan Smalls looks especially fit, toned and sexy in her space-age astronautish "Captain America" inspired costume. (I guess!) Not 100% sure if this is the superhero the costume designer had in mind for her outfit but she looks superfly in this superhero/superangel costume. Nice look ... and nice inflatable attached wings that she inflates mid-walkway using a lever/gadget of some sort attached to the costume. Brilliant and so much fun!
