    Study Notes

    The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was an annual event sponsored by Victoria's Secret, featuring the brand's models known as Victoria's Secret Angels, and broadcast on network television during prime time. The show was known for its elaborate costumed lingerie, music by leading entertainers, and set design with changing themes. The show was cancelled in 2019, due to declining ratings and sales, growing criticism of the show's organizer, Edward Razek, and association of L Brands' CEO Les Wexner with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The show was criticized for objectifying women, lacking diversity in body sizes, and cultural appropriation. The first show was held in 1995 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, and the subsequent shows were held in various locations, including Miami, Los Angeles, Cannes, Paris, London, and Shanghai. The show featured wings as a design element, which were introduced in the 1998 show, and various forms and sizes of wings became emblematic of the Victoria's Secret brand. Adriana Lima has worn the most winged costumes in the history of the show. The show was criticized for poor webcast connections in its early years, and later for being pornographic and indistinguishable from an infomercial. The show faced controversy over comments made by its organizer regarding trans women and plus-size models, and its cancellation was influenced by the reckoning of the Me Too movement and fourth-wave feminism. The cancellation led to a change in Victoria's Secret's marketing strategy, with a focus on digital platforms in an attempt to restore its reputation. In March 2023, Victoria's Secret announced it would bring back the fashion show in a new format after a four-year hiatus.Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Summary
