Victoria’s Secret new venture

One must wonder that they have always seen zero figure white women on the ramps of the Victoria’s fashion shows. So what was the change that led the company in hiring ambassadors from such diverse backgrounds?

Victoria Secret was the first company that brought about fancy lingerie to the world of masses. However though they were a world famous brand before, their popularity seemed fading now.

Though women in the past had different priorities. The women in the present day are more focused in empowerment and needed change.

In this case, Victoria’s old method of using zero waist thin lingerie cladded white women did not work anymore. The world now does not run after a specific body type, but accepts and loves all.

The use of only a specific type of models called “Angels” dropped Victoria’s sale in 2019 by 7.7 percent. The company then realized it was time to change.

“When the world was changing, we were too slow to respond,” said chief executive Martin. “We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want.”

Hence, the company announced its new list of representatives on Monday. This included a lot of women from different races, backgrounds and cultures along with white women.

Priyanka’s Views

Priyanka Chopra Jones seems thrilled to be a part of Victoria’s Secret. She said: “I am most excited for new customers, and for those who have always been a customer of Victoria’s Secret, to feel represented and like they belong”.

The new initiative by Victoria Secret seems amazing and it is an important step towards a more evolving world. The world has all kinds of people who need to be accepted and loved for who they are. Generalizing one body type, culture or ethnicity is not a step forward.
