VICTORIA'S SECRET

03.02.2025

FULL AUTOMATION FOR Victoria’s Secret fashion Show – hosted in New York, October 15 at the prestigious Brooklyn Navy Yard. A top notch production that could count on us for a perfect performance of our 10 huge rotating scenic panels (one side LED/ the other side decor panels) and 4 stage lifts to empower the dramatic effect of this visually overwhelming spectacle.

VISION

Victoria Secret loves to emphasize their role as a pioneer in the lingerie industry and this show with the Angels does not only highlight glamour and exclusivity but also diversity, self-love and inclusion. It is a runway translation of their new illuminated vision. Reknown for our solutioneering wit and our high end expertise as a partner in complex  fashion events, WI were asked by Buro Betak to realize some impressive show effects.

SCREENS

Structures and motion gear were brought in to start with 10 gigantic moving screens installed on a WI-Track. The inner 8 were attached to TP07 rotators. The screens allowed the models and performers to enter and exit the stage and on top they were used to make some unforgettable effects possible, for example the flabbergasting middle view on the East River during the show. Front side: video panels, back side: fabric. All screens were controlled by our WI-500-T187 drives.

The show is a runway translation of a new illuminated vision.

LIFT PLATFORMS

3 lift platforms provided by the client for which WI did the scaffolding integration. Each platform was controlled by 4xTP30 800kg hoists and used for models and performers to enter and exit the stage. 1 lift platform raised by 4xTP06 lifts was used to raise models but also larger props such as a piano. The supporting structure was our responsibility while the client did the finishing.
