Greek history made as Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returns

·

The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show made its return in Brooklyn, New York after being axed in 2019 due to various controversies.

Forging history, model Anthi Fakidari became the first Greek beauty to grace the Victoria’s Secret runway.

Athenian born Fakidari, 21, stumbled into the fashion industry quite unexpectedly. Her journey began when her father, a cameraman for Alpha TV, brought her to the set one day. It was there that she was first noticed and encouraged to consider a career in modelling, marking the start of her promising future in fashion.

Fakidari took to social media to express her joy, stating, “What an unforgettable night! Walking the Victoria’s Secret runway felt like a dream, one I’ve had since I was a little girl.”

With a heartfelt nod, she added, “Baby Anthi, I made you proud.”

As the angels donned their wings once more, Greek Australian guitar legend Orianthi provided the soundtrack for iconic supermodel Kate Moss among many others.

Strumming her guitar on the runway, she captivated the audience with renditions of the classic I Love Rock N’ Roll by the Arrows and Joan Jett, along with Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way.
