    Turkish designer is the man behind Victoria's Secret wings

    The Turkish-born Belgian haute couture designer Serkan Cura, who was trained in the atelier of Jean Paul Gaultier, is the man behind the elaborate feather and wire creations of Victoria's Secret wings which the models parade down the runway in.

    Cura said that designing the wings is a long process and they spend months crafting the wings for the VS shows each year, in fact he started designing in March for the VS runway in December.

    'When I saw last year's fashion show – I have to watch it on TV because I work backstage building all the corsets and putting all the feathers on the girls, but when I saw it I just thought 'wow'. That's why I accepted the challenge to make things for them again this year and I will ask again next year," he said.

    With last year's show featuring stunning wing designs in multi-colored feathers, delicate translucent paper and wire, Victoria's Secret fans are eagerly awaiting what Serkan comes up

    How did you get the job?
    I went to a meeting with [stylist] Sophia Neophitou, and at first, inom didn’t totally understand what she was saying. inom thought she was just asking me about how I made things, but then inom started to realize she actually wanted me to create something for the show.
