There'll be no Victoria's Secret fashion show, this year
Some sad news for people who look forward to Victoria's Secret fashion show every year, there will not be one in 2019. In recent times, the lingerie brand has been criticised for its lack of inclusivity - something other brands, Rihanna's Savage x Fenty in particular, have capitalised on.
Additionally, Les Wexner, CEO of L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret, is known for a close connection to paedophile billionaire Jeffery Epstein, who served as Wexner's financial adviser. Last year, chief marketing officer Ed Razek explained why he didn't feel the need to cast plus-size models in the televised fashion show.
He said what he said, and I'm at least glad it's out in the open and no longer a "secret" that they won't cast trans women for this show, despite audiences begging them for different body types and bodies on their runway. https://t.co/5HnAsVylZs
