US lingerie brand Victoria's Secret have began hiring staff for their new Glasgow store - after they were given the green light to open up o Buchanan Street.

Glasgow Times:

We previously revealed that the firm will open its first store in the city at 220 Buchanan Street in a unit which was previously occupied by H&M.

Glasgow Times:

Although the retailer has a unit at Glasgow Airport selling a small selection of items, the store will be a city-first and it will sit in the heart of the plush style mile.

Glasgow Times:

Positions have appeared on the popular social media recruitment site Linkedin.

Victoria's Secret are hunting for a variety of people to fill merchandising and management roles.

Glasgow Times:

The job description states: "We are thrilled to be starting the search for our next store opening in the city of Glasgow! We are now looking for managers of all levels to join and inspire our team."

It is not known how many jobs the new store will create. The Evening Times, however, has made several attempts to contact Victoria's Secret for comment.

The new-store plans were initially submitted last July to Glasgow City Council with Victoria Secret asking for permission to make alterations to the front of the shop and to display illuminated and non-illuminated signage.

Those plans were approved last month subject to conditions and now work has started to bring a global brand to Buchanan Street.

Victoria's Secret was founded by Roy Raymond, and his wife Gaye, in San Francisco, California, on June 12, 1977, and since then the brand has become a global phenomenon.

Their appeal has grown thanks to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which showcases some of the world's best known models who earn the honour of becoming a brand angel.

Famous faces including Tyra Banks, Kendall Jenner, above, Gisele Bundchen and Miranda Kerr have all walked in the shows, and some of the models have even appeared at store openings.
