Victoria’s Secret is not just any lingerie manufacturing company. Victoria’s Secret is a brand in itself. A brand who everyone wants to be a part of. Models consider themselves lucky if they are chosen as angels, and woman & girls consider themselves lucky if they own any products – specially lingerie – from the said brand.
In the year 1996, the makers of the brand decided to spice things up by creating the concept of wonder bras. Made in 18K gold and encrusted with the finest jewels, wearing a fantasy bra is a models dream.
For the first 4 years (i.e., till 2001 these bras were only photographed on the catalogue and were not displayed during the show but soon things changed.
Let’s go back and see who wore which fantasy bra

The first fantasy bra was worn and modelled by super model Heidi Klum. Costing about $12.5millions, the fantasy bra was titled as Heavenly Star Bra.

WOW – right?!
Quick Fun Facts – Since their inception (1996), only two of these fantasy bra’s were actually purchased by anonymous buyers.
So, then the obvious question arises – What happens to the other bras that never get sold? Well, one year after the show they dismantle the bra and re-use the gold and precious stones.
Now, another question – If the fantasy bras don’t have a market, why do they keep making them every year? It’s a marketing strategy. To keep the buzz alive and to keep everyone interested in the brand!
