The Victoria’s Secret annual fashion show, once celebrated for its glamorous, sexy supermodels and celebrity performers, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the years. In 2018, the brand shifted its approach, moving away from its iconic, high-fashion “Angels” in response to the #MeToo movement. By 2021, Victoria’s Secret embraced more diverse and inclusive representation, with a new lineup of “diverse” models and influencers. The 2022 show pivoted to a documentary format featuring artistic performances, including poetry readings by international artists. Can you say BORING?!
The most recent 2024 show marked the return of the runway but with an insanely woke twist: two transgender models, Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani, were featured.
Down goes another company, scarified to the woke overlords. Another idiotic move that’s alienating a brand’s core audiences by prioritizing social messages over consumer expectations. When will these companies learn, go woke and go broke. I’d say it’s about time for a boycott of the no-longer-sexy Victoria’s Secret. Or is it Victor’s Secret?
