BRITISH VOGUE published all the runway looks from the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York last night, which featured birds of paradise, a British invasion and Parisian nights as its themes, but it was the photographs that came through my instagram feed that were the most fun.  From the models’ own accounts, they were a backstage pass to behind the scenes before the show — checking phones and eating salad, hair & make-up and it’s all in a day’s work . . .
