Well dang! I was hoping to see Rapihoe in some Stuart Wietzman stilettos & a thong.

Maybe a splash of armpit hair.

I am shocked that the most famous lingerie brand in the world lost sales after replacing hot women with a militant, far left-wing lesbian and a man.

How could anyone have seen this coming?
Luckily the woke online army came to VS's side, though...

The Bud Light syndrome strikes again.

Your models and corporate spokespeople should represent more than the fringe 0.001 of your customers
The Bud Light fiasco is so great. I really hope other companies will learn from this and not go woke to begin with.

Victoria's Secret ditches prioritizing wokeness over 'sexiness' after sales drop

https://nypost.com/2023/10/18/victorias-secret-ditches-wokeness-over-sexiness-after-sales-drop/

Lingerie chain Victoria's Secret is reportedly ditching its woke, feminist makeover of recent years as it hasn't translated to business success.

Since the brand decided to move away from its "hyper-sexualized" image as BusinessOfFashion.com described it in a recent article Victoria's Secret has seen a significant revenue drop.

As such, it has looked to revamp itself and bring back "sexiness," the outlet noted in a piece that was also published by editorial partner CNN on Tuesday.

Cathaleen Chen reported that the brand's efforts to promote inclusivity which included making LGBTQ pro women's soccer player and outspoken leftist Megan Rapinoe, as well as a transgender woman, brand spokesmodels and getting rid of its famous "Angels" supermodels gained "favorable reviews from online critics [but] never translated into sales."

According to the numbers, the lingerie brand's projected revenue for 2023 is $6.2 billion, which is 5% lower than it was last year, and even lower than 2020, when the brand's revenue was $7.5 billion.

Chief executive Martin Waters also reportedly admitted that the inclusivity initiatives were not profitable for the company, stating, "Despite everyone's best endeavors, it's not been enough to carry the day."

According to BusinessOfFashion, the company's new goal is to "Improve profitability and cross back over $7 billion in annual sales." To meet this objective, the brand plans to roll out activewear and swimwear, update its existing stores and open up 400 new ones outside the United States.




If sex with animals was the new WOKE trend Victoria Secrets would have chimps in lingerie. Anything for a buck. Which ever way the wind blows.

The 90s were an amazing time to grow up. Even JCPenney catalogs had hotties.

I remember as a kid in S.F. bay area we would always be on the look out for porno mags and occasionally would find a stash. Best feeling ever, it will probably be my closest experience to winning the lottery for my whole life !!

Honestly, I don't think they had a majority of favorable reviews. Maybe 5.

Their concept failed.

No man is buying lingerie fantasizing that their wife looks like Rapinoe in bed, and no women envies her.

Androgynous women don't sell sexy to anyone.

Clown world.


Well, to be fair, so was the old goal. I think that was a polite way to say "we're ditching the plus-size models and confused dude and hiring hotties to be in our ads again." A person in her position can't just say that.

Don't buy the stock just yet. The VS brand guy remains confused. The NY Post quotes him saying:

Quote:

Victoria's Secret and Pink brand president Greg Unis summed up this new direction for the company, reportedly telling investors, "Sexiness can be inclusive." He explained that "Sexiness can celebrate the diverse experiences of our customers and that's what we're focused on."
Such bull.

Turns out showing people what they're actually gonna look like in your products is bad business.

I remember a lady poster on here a while back lecturing me about why putting fat / ugly / trannie models in lingerie is good business.

All I could do was laugh how wrong she was. People buy brand name clothing aspiring to look better, especially lingerie.


There's not as many women on this forum as men, I wonder who it was?

Anybody wager against me that VS will have a tran-knee model advertised one year from now.
