Model Decision Time: Victoria's Secret Vs Chanel

When Karl Lagerfeld decided to hold his Chanel Métiers d'Art show on the same night as the annual Victoria's Secret extravaganza (December 2), he gave some of the industry's best-known models a very tough choice: which should they walk in? Some, including the Angels, have no real choice to make, either because they are not Chanel favourites or because - like Karlie Kloss or Candice Swanepoel - their contract with the American lingerie giant will make the decision a no-brainer. But what about the rest?

Chanel: The Ladies First Choice?

Brit girls Jourdan Dunn and Lily Donaldson, who often walk for Chanel, have both already spoken of their preparations for the Victoria's Secret show - as have other Lagerfeld favourites Joan Smalls, Josephine Skriver and Devon Windsor. Still sitting on the fence, perhaps still deciding which way to jump, are some Chanel girls - including campaign face  Cara Delevingne and catwalk regular Malaika Firth - who walked for Victoria's Secret last year, but who haven't yet confirmed that they will again. Newcomers like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who were slated to make their Victoria's Secret debut this year, are now less likely to, considering the lure of Chanel on the other side of the Alps.

All eyes will be on the airline tickets that will surely begin to pop up on social media later this month: destination London, or destination Salzburg?
