Victoria’s Secret set date for UK debut

Victoria's Secret Summer 2012 What Is Sexy? Launch With 
Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton and Lindsay Ellingson

American lingerie giant Victoria's Secret has confirmed the opening dates of two London stores, its first in the country.

The Angels are finally coming: US lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret has confirmed that its first UK store will open on July 25 - just in time for the capital's Olympic Games.

Expect a catwalk extravaganza - much like the annual show hosted in New York, whereby the brand's spokesmodels (or Angels, as they are called) take to the runway to flaunt one-of-a-kind creations upon their famous bodies (complete with wings) - to launch the store.

The Victoria's Secret flagship store is currently under construction and occupies a prominent position on designer boutique-laden New Bond Street and the corner of elegant Brook Street.

And it doesn't end there: a second store will open the following day at Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, east London and a stonesthrow from the Olympic Stadium, which will host the 2012 Games from July 27.

Retail analysts report that the brand will then look to open additional stores around the capital.

In the meantime, the question on every fashionista's lips is which Angels will make it in town for the launch? Will Brazilian Alessandra Ambrosio, who had her second child two weeks ago ping back in to shape? Answer: of course; will Adriana Lima and Lily Aldridge, both currently 'in the club' be back on duty? Answer: most porbably; will Miranda Kerr grace London with her British beau, Orlando Bloom in tow? Answer: we seriously hope so.
