The show merges fashion, fantasy and entertainment, according
to the company website, and has been attracting well known
models, celebrities and musical performers since its inception
in 1996.
California model Jasmine Tookes, who was chosen to wear a $3
million jewel encrusted "Fantasy Bra", told Reuters TV she was
on edge before hitting the catwalk.
"I was freaking out backstage," she said. "I was so scared I
would walk on the runway and start tearing up, but I kept it
together."
Other models, known as Angels, wore the company's large wings
adorned in feathers, sequence and satin and included Kendall
Jenner, sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Adriana Lima.
Musical artists Lady Gaga, The Weekend and Bruno Mars performed
on the runway during the show.
The show was filmed and will air on Dec. 5 in more than 190
countries.
The undergarment store was opened in 1977 in California by Roy
Raymond and targeted men who felt uncomfortable buying lingerie
for their wives and girlfriends in big department stores.
