Victoria's Secret Angels will not parade during 2019
The surprise that the famous Victoria's Secret angels will not parade, meant fatal news for the brand's followers. For years there have been changes in the parades, but a cancellation of this type is not normal.
Although the announcement was made in May this year, Australian model Shanina Shaik was in charge of announcing the cancellation of the show. Of course, his personal opinion was "It is something I am not used to because at this time of year I am training like an angel", while I assure that something great can come at any time.
Consulted sources assure that Victoria's Secret has been constantly changing, and they are working to improve the brand, it is a way to innovate one of the largest and most recognized fashion shows in the world.
For Victoria's Secret, it's time for introspection. For a few years, the lingerie brand created by Roy Raymond has been in the middle of a controversy. With gender identity, growing feminist groups and LGTBI + communities, the brand has been questioned for its lack of physical diversity, its grosphobia, a transphobic scandal. In addition, the brand is accused of forcing or imposing a harsh diet on its models.
Now, we can only wait for the Victoria's Secret show, an annual parade for more than twenty years and that mixes lingerie, concerts and VIP appearances, will return to normal. Although what is clear to us is that by promoting an overly unrealistic image of women, their angels have left some feathers along the way.
