Turkish designer is the man behind Victoria's Secret wings


The Turkish-born Belgian haute couture designer Serkan Cura, who was trained in the atelier of Jean Paul Gaultier, is the man behind the elaborate feather and wire creations of Victoria's Secret wings which the models parade down the runway in.Cura said that designing the wings is a long process and they spend months crafting the wings for the VS shows each year, in fact he started designing in March for the VS runway in December.'When I saw last year's fashion show – I have to watch it on TV because I work backstage building all the corsets and putting all the feathers on the girls, but when I saw it I just thought 'wow'. That's why I accepted the challenge to make things for them again this year and I will ask again next year," he said.With last year's show featuring stunning wing designs in multi-colored feathers, delicate translucent paper and wire, Victoria's Secret fans are eagerly awaiting what Serkan comes up with for this year's imaginative themes which include 'Gilded Angels,' 'Fairy Tales' and 'Dream Girls'.This year`s international audience is expected to top 2013's audience of over 15 million, and luckily Serkan has no plans to leave the franchise anytime soon.
