Revija Victoria’s Secreta je nešto o čemu se priča tokom cele godine, prvo o pripemama za istu, potom o svemu što se vidi na njoj. Ali još letos je jedna od anđela Victoria’s Secreta, Shanina Shaik izjavila za australijski list The Daily Telegraph, ove godine se kultna revija neće održati.

Dakle nakon 24-godišnje tradicije, službeno je otkazana godišnja Victoria’s Secret revija, službeno potvrđeno iz direkcije brenda.

Prethodno je najvaljneo da se revija više neće prenositi ni na jednoj televizijskoj mreži, a razlog za ovu odluku bilo je opadanje gledanosti iz godine u godinu. Da li su tome doprineli neuključenost plus size modela i transrodnih osoba, očigledno jesu jer su zbog prozivki da predstavljaju nestvarnu sliku žene, a sve kako bi opravdali očekivanja i zadovoljli publiku koja zapravo kupuje te modele, počeli zapošljavati plus-size i transrodne modele što je malo smirilo situaciju, ali onda se desila ozbiljna optužba. Ono što je verovatno prelilo čašu i dovelo do ovako drastične odluke jesu optužbe da je Victoria’s Secret kopirala dizajn brenda Fleur du Mal.

Hey @victoriassecret , you really built up that bad karma last November, huh? Not long after Ed Razek’s trans/fatphobic comments in an interview with Vogue, an associate buyer at the Columbus, Ohio-based lingerie company placed a $12,656 web order from @fleurdumalnyc . Half of the order was for Fleur du Mal’s embroidered and appliquéd Lily bras and panties, dupes of which unsurprisingly showed up for sale on VS’ website and Instagram two days ago (at half the price). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a bit more complicated than just your typical knockoff story though. Could there be bad blood boiling below the surface at VS? Jennifer Zuccarini, Fleur du Mal’s founder, previously co-founded the lingerie brand Kiki de Montparnasse in 2005 and followed with a three year stint as design director at Victoria’s Secret from 2008-2011. The following year, Fleur du Mal was born, growing into a successful brand and celeb-favorite while VS’ sales continued to decline. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But their troubles don’t stop there. The recently exposed ties between L Brands’ CEO Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein Epstein, sent stock shares of VS’ parent company tumbling to the lowest they’ve been in nearly a decade. Epstein, a close friend and former financial advisor to Wexner, has of course been making headlines after being indicted on child sex trafficking charges. The day of his arrest last weekend, a trove of naked photos of underage girls was uncovered in his Upper East Side mansion, a home that was formerly owned by Wexner and reportedly transferred over to Epstein for $1. Hella shady and creepy, if we’ve ever seen it. Supermodels, it might be time to really rethink your contracts with Victoria’s Secret. Here’s to L Brands’ shares and VS’ profits tumbling even deeper lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • #fleurdumal #lingerie #lace #silk #embroidery #lily #black #victoriassecret #edrazek #lbrands #leswexner #jeffreyepstein #transphobia #fatphobia #ecommerce #onlineshopping #linkedin #vsfashionshow #scandal #corporation #indiebrand #ripoff #ootd #femaleowned #womanowned #dietprada

Uz to, nekoliko desetina prodavnica brenda Victoria’s Secret u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama je zatvoreno, što je jasan znak da je brend u finansijkom problem, možda mu čak preti potencijalni bankrot.

Ali ajde da se ne bavimo tim ne tako lepim stvarima, već da se prisetimo nekih lepih trenutaka koji su se desili poslednjih par godina.

Jako važan deo revija bili su i muzičari koji su nastupali na njima. Prošle godine čast je pripala pevačici Bebe Rexha koja je pistom prošetala u kreaciji hrvatskog dizajnera Juraja Zigmana.

Tokom prošlogodišnje revije Adriana Lima je nakon 18 godina provedenih u jatu Victoria’s Secret  anđela donela odluku da završi karijeru i emotivno sve to podnela uz suze.

Reviju je 2017. godine obeležio trudnički stomak Candice Swanepoel, koja ga je na reviji vešto sakrila, a istu stvar je godinu dana ranije uradila Irina Shayk.

Pista Victoria’s Secret revije bila je mesto susreta i mnogih bivših jubavi. Tako je Harry Styles, koji je nastupio na reviji 2017. godine dovođen u vezu sa čak pet VS anđela koju su te godine prošetale na reviji.

2016. godine na pisti su se susreli i prelepa Bella Hadid i pevač The Weeknd. Emotivan susret verovatno je doveo da pomirenja, jer u tom trenutku su bili razdvojeni.
