Victoria’s Secret Vows To Revive And Revamp Its Infamous Fashion Show
New York Post ^ | 07.21.2021 | Lisa Fickenscher

Victoria’s Secret is getting back into the fashion show business after backlash over its one-size-fits-all definition of sexy killed off the annual extravaganza two years ago.

“Our intention is to get back into the fashion show business in a culturally relevant way,” chief executive Martin Waters told investors in a conference call on Monday. “You should anticipate that the fashion show will be part of our business. We will redefine it,” Waters said.

Victoria’s Secret canceled the popular catwalk event featuring its famous “Angels” donning massive wings with their skimpy lingerie in 2019, after 24 years. The event was scrapped amid widespread outrage over the company’s refusal to include plus-sized or transgender models in the show.

“Can’t have too many genders, I guess.”

More genders = more potential customers! Fat burly dudes who think they are pretty need undies too.

Progressives have created yet another “must-skip” event.

So...it was because of the lack of fatties and trannies and had nothing to do with Leslie Wexner's interactions with Jeffrey Epstein?

Looking in all the wrong places, but then, never know what will stand out.

Reminds me of the guy who contacted optical AIDS, he was looking for love in all the wrong places.

Stupid is as stupid does…

I don’t care about your “social relevance” and I guarandamntee 99% or more of your customers don’t either.

You are idiots for falling for this crap.

This is all just as stupid as women’s sports bitching about equal pay, and blaming men for not watching it.

Make a product, identify your customer base, provide said product to them…

It’s okay if your product isn’t for everyone and it’s okay if people who aren’t your customers don’t like you or your product.

Caving to people who are not your customers for some perceived affront on their part is silly.

This is like the stupid crap with fast food. Poll people and they say they want healthier fast food options, mcd and no etc add healthier options, and no one buys them…

Just stop the silliness already.

Social media makes small vocal groups look far larger than they are…. Stop capitulating to idiots.

I will avoid the need for eye-bleach by avoiding anything that VS (Victoria’s Secret) does in the future. If I want internet porn it is easy to find elsewhere and comes without this SJW baggage or need for a warning about content!

Instead of Angels, they’ll have Satans showing off the new Victor’s Secret line up of lingerie for mentally ill males!🤓

One of the most iconic ad campaigns of all time. The beach ball was a nice touch.

If this “Exhibit” is the best business plan they can come up with for Victoria Secret, maybe just shut the whole thing down for now.

Let somebody revive it in original form when they are done being afraid of what Twitter will say.
Sell to a small select group of consumers and leave it at that.
No one product will be suitable for everyone.
