Photo: Oliver Quillia for CNBC.com Each year, Victoria's Secret kicks off its holiday-selling season with a runway event, designed to build excitement about its products. Not that they need much convincing this year. Limited Brands, Victoria's Secret's parent, is heading into the key holiday season with a lot of momentum. Some of that is coming from its Pink line, which has seen a surge in sales. Pink, a line that targets older teens and college-age girls, is highlighted in this year's show, which airs Nov. 30 on CBS. The show is always a hit, even without its "Head Angel," supermodel Heidi Klum, who quit the show. Celebrity pop stars Katy Perry and Akon will lend their star power this year for an event only Victoria's Secret can produce.Click ahead to see scenes from this year's event.It's Not the Holidays Until an Angel Walks the Runway Posted 11 Nov 2010 by Oliver Quillia |
