Heather Marks, the Canadian model from the glamorous lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret, will be a guest model at the upcoming “Long-legged Festival” fashion show taking place in Vietnam this month.
Venus Fashion, the local show organizer, has said it paid around VND1 billion ($50,000) to have Marks performing in Vietnam.
"This is a large amount to pay for a model to appear in the show. Still, our company hoped that with the performance of an international model like Heather Marks on the catwalk, we can offer our guests a valuable show as well as setting up a high position for Venus’s ‘Long-Legged Festival’ in the industry,” said Vu Khac Tiep, director of the agency.
Heather Marks, 23, was born in Calgary, Alberta. Making her entry into the fashion world at age 15, Heather Marks has appeared in hundreds of fashion shows and commercials around the world, as well as on many magazine covers. She has also been selected to be one of the “angels” of Victoria's Secret.
The “Long-legged Festival” is an annual event by the Vietnamese model agency Venus Fashion, offering a chance for models in the HCM City and Hanoi to enrich and exchange their experience.
This year’s show, the most expensive so far of the agency, will be directed by Pham Hoang Nam, a well-known director of most top-class events in Vietnam, including Miss Vietnam World pageant.
Local pop star Ho Ngoc Ha will be the only singer performing at the show.
The event takes place on May 15, at 8 pm, at the Ocean Club, HCM City.
