It's no secret that for the past 15 years it has been the Victoria's Secret empire that has been shaping the standards of female beauty. Everything that today is considered a model of femininity comes from the casting directors of the brand, who for many years dictated the beauty standards to the world. In the 90s, Stephanie Seymour and Karen Mulder were responsible for sexuality, in the early 00s, Giselle was considered the main "angel" with her liana body and sun-bleached strands. Last years most sexy woman the planets recognized the radiant Candice Swanepoel - her stellar role in the team returned the fashion to blue-eyed blondes. Victoria's Secret has a whole archetype: languid and fatal Adriana Lima, athletic Alessandra Ambrosio, angelic Doutzen Kroes and Anna Beatriz Barros.
But this year the rules of the game have changed. Candace and Behati found themselves on maternity leave, the creators, who would not have risked global changes earlier, considered this time the most suitable for changing the format. After all, what is the grand annual Victoria's Secret show? Least of all, this is a show of a lingerie collection, but first of all, the official ambassadors of the brand, with their appearance, demonstrate to the world what is considered an aesthetic canon. It's all about female beauty, about the symbol of femininity of our time. So who will form this same canon today?
The main sensation was the choice of a model to demonstrate the famous Fantasy Bra. For those who are not in the know, a precious bra, studded with diamonds, is a kind of cherry on the cake at the end of each show, and is usually represented by a top model who bears the unspoken title of the main "angel" of the brand. And if Giselle and Candace were previously represented by a jewel-studded bra for $ 3 million, today Victoria's Secret unexpectedly chooses a young and unknown black American Jasmine Tookes, who even before the landmark release becomes a star - only materials about trying on a Fantasy Bra in the world media several hundred came out. In addition to the fact that the newly minted star played football and gymnastics as a child, nothing is known about her. Among Jasmine's commercial contracts, only the modest Gap is listed. In a word, this is just a story on the topic: "The next morning she woke up famous."

Jasmine Tooks
Yesterday, what an honor to defile in a three million dollar Fantasy Bra bra embellished with diamonds and emeralds, Jasmine Tooks went to the upcoming Victoria's Secret show ..
Childhood and early career
Jasmine was born in Huntington Beach, California, in 1991. The girl's mother worked as a stylist, so Tux began her modeling career early - at the age of 15. In 2011, when Jasmine was 20 years old, she made her debut on the world catwalk at the DKNY show.
Personal life
Tux's heart is not free: for several years she has had a romantic relationship with Tobias Sorensen, who also works as a model. The couple met in a nightclub in 2012.
CareerVVictoria's Secret
Jasmine Tookes is new among Voctoria's Secret "angels". The model received her "wings" only in 2015. For the first time, Jasmine took part in the traditional annual show of the brand in 2012.
Ability to keep secrets
Upon learning that she would represent the Fantasy Bra this year, Jasmine had to come to terms with the fact that the news had to be kept secret for the next five months. All this time, only the closest friends and relatives of the model, including her mother and grandmother, whom Jasmine called first, knew about the joyful event.
old dream
Jasmine admits that for many years she dreamed that someday she would be able to try on a Fantasy Bra.
Perhaps this is the most expensive thing that I have ever had to wear, especially on the chest. Three million dollars was spent on the creation of a bra, and another 700 hours and 9,000 gems! I confess, I did not want to take off this bra.
Tux's favorite precious bra designs are those worn by Candice Swanepoel in 2013 and Tyra Banks in 2004.
Uploads videos where he fools around, and also shares photos without makeup. And all this despite a busy schedule and serious contracts (Jasmine Tookes recently introduced a new fragrance, Victoria's Secret Love). In a flash interview with ELLE, the model told what she can't live without this fall.
I am rereading the series Harry Potter books. Moreover, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
What to wear?
In everyday life, I can not live without three things: leather jacket, a pair of over the knee boots and a small shoulder bag. And for evening outings I will choose a dress made of velvet.
A person who has always inspired you with his style?
Mother. She is a stylist. And she has an impeccable sense of style.
What underwear to choose?
Sexy! Such underwear seems to reincarnate a woman. If in autumn you feel tired, fragile, exhausted - put on a sexy set and feel how your condition changes. My favorite for fall is the sheer bodysuit from the Love collection. And a velvet set from the Dream Angels Victoria's Secret line: perfect for autumn.
The scent of autumn?
Fruity floral Love Victoria's Secret. If you listen closely, the aroma reveals mango, juniper berries, figs, musk and apricot flowers.
Favorite beauty product for fall?
Lipstick rich autumn shade.
Picking Jasmine Tookes: 5 Must-haves for Autumn
1 / 5
Love Victoria's Secret fragrance
Beauty - what does this word mean to you?
The feeling of comfort in your own skin. You can try dozens of hairstyles and makeup, but none of it makes sense if you don't love yourself. Self love is here real beauty.
What apps can't you live without?
Listen to music - in Spotify. Buy cosmetics - in Sephora. Also Uber, Victoria's Secret and Instagram, which I start my day with (yes, I know how bad it is).
Think back to the moment you found out you were introducing the Fantasy Bra. What was your first thought?
"WAIT WHAT?!?!". Exactly like this. At first I was embarrassed, then I got excited and emotionally reacted. Two moments that I will never forget: the first when I heard that I would introduce a Fantasy Bra, and the second when I went to the Victoria's Secret show.
Exit with Fantasy Bra in modeling is considered the highest merit. What's next?
My career does not end there, of course. I'm staying in modeling, but would like to work in film and TV more.
