There was also a Swiss girl among the Victoria's Secret angels: Vivienne Rohner from Zurich.

Vivienne Rohner: "A new start"

The 26-year-old posted a photo from backstage before the fashion show. It shows her with fellow model Sun Mizrahi.

Vivienne Rohner writes on the picture: "New start with my angel Sun."

Vivienne Rohner, like several Swiss models before her, including Manuela Frey (28) and Ronja Furrer (32), owes part of her career to the renowned Elite Model Look competition, writes "blick.ch".

Even though she was not one of the winners of the competition in 2013, her example shows impressively that perseverance is often more important than winning first place. Instead of getting discouraged, Rohner kept at it - with success.

The very next year, she opened Vivienne Westwood's fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, a significant moment for any model. Prestigious commissions for Chanel and Calvin Klein followed, further cementing her status in the fashion world.

She recently walked the catwalk for designer Carolina Herrera at New York Fashion Week.
