Victoria’s Secret hired its first trans model for a catalog shoot recently. This is the first time that they are working with a trans woman despite their CMO, Ed Razek, having passed a transphobic comment in an interview with Vogue last year. (Hyperlink the Vogue interview)
Razek resigned days after the trans model, Valentina Sampaio, was hired by the brand.
The brand is renowned for its fancy lingerie collection which is displayed on their show. Every year the Victoria’s Secret Show takes place around the globe, where models better known as Victoria’s Secret ‘Angels’, hit the runway to display the brand’s new collection. From Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks to the new-age supermodel Cara Delevingne, big names have graced the ramp for their show.
