PS: What’s your favorite Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show memory?
AA: The first show that I did, we took a flight from JFK — so it’s actually very similar to this — to Cannes. We took the concord. We did the show at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was a unique experience. It was amazing and gorgeous. For my first time, it was so glamorous. The girls who were doing the show at the time were Stephanie Seymour and Karen Mulder.
PS: How do you think the London location will add to the show this year?
AA: Going on a trip is always more fun because we get to spend more time together. We are always so busy, so it’s good to be out together and share all of these experiences that we’ve been going through for years. And London is such an amazing city. It’s got such beautiful architecture and is one of my favorites in Europe. I think it’s the perfect backdrop for this type of show. It’s such a fashion city — a fashion-statement place — that Victoria’s Secret fits perfect with it.
PS: What’s your advice for the newer models?
AA: Have fun. Just enjoy every second because you work so hard. It’s hard to be in the show because pretty much every model wants to be in it. It’s a big competition [to get cast]. And so if you’re in the show, you work really hard. And when you get there, it goes so quickly that you just have to have fun and enjoy every moment.
PS: How do you get into that Victoria’s Secret Angel persona before you go out on the catwalk?
AA: Well, I just try to relax. I’ve been working out and prepping for the show, so that’s not the moment to worry about it anymore. It’s done. Whatever you did, you did. It is what it is. The outfits help so much, too. They make you feel like you can become a character. So before the show, I just try to relax and have a good time. When the show starts with the music and the lights go on, the adrenaline hits your body, and you can feel anxious. So you have to try to relax.
