A day off from filming giant robots

Victoria’s Secret

11-Dec-10 – (Above) Victoria’s Secret lingerie model Katsia Zingarevich poses on the LaSalle Street Bridge in August for a television spot unveiled this month that was directed by Michael Bay. (Click on image to view larger version.)

Bay was in town to direct the new Transformers movie scheduled for release on July 1, 2011.

The bridge was closed on August 7 and 8 so that Zingarevich and fellow supermodels Erin Heatherton and Candice Swanepoel could shoot the Victoria’s Secret “Holiday 2010 TV Commercial.” The crew also filmed at Chicago’s Lyric Opera House on North Wacker Drive.

“Our holiday campaign had a certain requirement to be fairly epic at this point,” said Ed Razek, Chief Marketing Officer of Limited Brands, the company that owns Victoria’s Secret.
