The VS show is such a weird contradiction to me. Like they try to make the models 'relatable' and try to get you invested in them by publicizing their names and personalities. But at the same time they want to sell a 'fantasy' by airbrushing their abs, giving them all fake tans, and making them work out like 12 hours a day. So are they supposed to be relatable or not????

[@sarahlilliancullen]

The brand is suffering on so many fronts. Firstly, they're over priced especially considering that they're not ethically or sustainably produced. Then there's the problematic and exclusionary brand image. And then there's the trend towards comfortable women's underwear, especially bras. They would be clever to focus a bit on bralets and supported camisoles, but I hope they don't because I don't want them to do well.

[@liina000]

[@oohnaturel5717]

@@1313aves Totally agree. I think its that saying "Ignorance Is Bliss", the general public wont know if a company's CEO is racist or not they only kniw the products and the advertisements. Like, the VS store near where I live still has 12 year olds girls to 45 year of women checking it out coz they know the brand is "sexy and comfortable" despite being overpriced. And not every article on the internet will speak out against VS unless theyre from a more liberal conscious media (coming from a "liberal" lol). It's just sad. People want representation to be true and not false but they cant have it without a profit agenda behind it. And as someone who's purchased from VS, i dont feel beautiful wearing my bralette, its not comfortable at all and makes my boob look super weird (look flat). And even on sale it was still £25 for no reason.

[@bootyceps8077]

i agree w you ---you can literally see it in their sales and ratings lol which have been declining for a while. This "fantasy" isn't connecting with their consumer demographic anymore. The CEO stepped down, the company is a mess, i mean VS's parent company (who's sales mainly come from VS) went down 41% this year alone. Women in recent years are seen to buy more supportive/comfortable bras and bralettes at a better price rather than a lacy pushup for $60. lmao it bothers me when people try to argue the VS Angel branding is still people's ideal because the company is literally going in the toilet because of it.

I used to love the VS fashion show up until like 2013, i liked the models better, there were some fierce catwalks, the music matched the segments nicely, they had some amazing performances, the runways itself looked better in my opinion, and the designs were more interesting and fun. Also VS was never about the fashion i see the looks more like costumes that complement the lingerie some are good and some are just bad. Not that there weren't any misses but it used to be all in all more epic and entertaining to watch...but it all started to go downhill, each year it was more and more disappointing hence the low views. These models are not as good as the OG's (Gisele,Tyra..). All of the ones that i loved left Miranda, Alessandra, Erin, and now Adriana. This year's performances were especially bad, and i only liked 2-3 segments the rest was catastrophic, sad and boring. Plus Ed Razek's comments definitely had a negative impact on the company and i really hope the'll learn from this and start to be more inclusive. Btw love your videos Luke

People downgrade modeling but it's actually a very difficult career. The Victoria's secret fashion show, being the most infamous fashion show in the world, is EXTREMELY hard to get into. Getting into the Victoria's secret fashion show is like the Olympics for a model. So yes, the girls do have to work hard on their bodies and on their diets as if they were athletes. It's a lot more than just walking down the runway and blowing a kiss. People like you like to talk all big, but I bet if you spent a week working as hard as a model to do what they do, you wouldn't have anything to say anymore. It's extremely hard work. Don't judge others until you've walked in their shoes.

Aw I felt bad by the way you were reacting to Barbara Palvin. She’s so cute and just goofing around. I’ve always loved her poses at the end of the vs runways cos they’re original and suit the theme. She doesn’t just do the same old hip pop and kiss that a lot do. I guess it’s a matter of personal taste. If VS cringes you out by their flirty playfulness then it’s not the show for you. There’s tones of high fashion shows that require the models to be stoic and showcase only the clothes and not their personalities. VS is different. It’s all about the models making the runway their own. The models come first and the clothes second.

[@Eloraurora]

So many people here are arguing against inclusivity with "ZOMG oBeSiTy" and "ur jus jelly". How about a show with athletes? Send a powerlifter down the runway carrying a bench with a couple of gymnasts on it. Put a tank down each side of the runway and have an Olympic swimmer swim down, hop out to pose in a glamazon swimsuit that shows off her broad shoulders, and swim back down the other side. The VS body type, while it does take a lot of work to maintain, is 100% form over function. I'd rather they showcase beautiful bodies that were shaped by the desire to DO something.

I'm not gonna criticize you for being american just because Trump is your president.

@@smarty2985 yes you can, many of the VS angels vlog on youtube, they show their everyday life, what they eat and cook, when and how they train, their photoshoots and work with VS and it really gives you an insight of how things really are for them. Its actually very interesting and makes things "click" by seeing that you understand why their bodys look they way they look, they are extremely healthy and if you think about it they get payed to look the way they do, they get payed to work out, take care of themselves and perform up to the brand standards, to me its no different than an athlete that gets payed to train, eat healthy and perform in their sport.

[@smarty2985]

​@@xxsofihinaxx while i appreciate that, i know from personal experience that maintaining a low body weight when you are tall is extremely unhealthy and taxing. just as you said, they have to keep up with brand standards. do you think Victoria Secret wants to get the same criticism as high fashion now does? no. so they cover it up. the reality is, you can't maintain a body mass of 16-17 when over 5'9 without restricting under your bmr. I'm 5'11, I know from my own experience with modeling and body weight, I had to restrict like an insane person to get down to weights around 125lbs. that is exactly how eating disorders develop because, after a certain point to which you engage with restrictive and purging behaviors, it becomes more or less about the job and more about the feeling. the modeling industry is extremely competitive and extremely toxic. they often threaten models to get major surgeries if the agency isn't happy with how the model looks and if they don't they are dropped, some endorse very dangerous eating habits and they create a very distressing workplace environment for those involved. when they tell you that they "eat like everyone" remember they have a brand to represent, VS isn't what real high fashion looks like. it's a facade.

[@missydidi796]

@@smarty2985 Well, I have to tell you that is not true. It depends on your body type, metabolism, eating habits, genetics, etc. I am 5'9 and I weigh 125lbs and I am neither unhealthy nor have I ever had to restrict myself or had an eating disorder. I just have healthy eating and living habits. I eat three full meals per day plus snacks in between but they are healthy, home-cooked meals without processed oils or ingredients, if I want chocolate or ice-cream I do eat them , I just do it in moderation, I workout everyday so I am fit and not skinny. I eat enough protein, I consume enough calories, I feel great and strong and all of that is the result of good eating and living habits which is evidenced by the fact that my entire family is above 5'9, with my dad being 6'5 and my aunt 6'0 , and all of us, including my mom and sister who are also 5'9 and weigh around 125-127lbs, have never had any eating disorders, health problems relating to weight, etc. And before you say that healthy eating and working out is a luxury for rich people with a lot of free time or for people, whose job is to look fit, I am a full time law student, my family isn't rich and we are not naturally extremely thin, we just eat healthy and take care of our bodies, which is to say that it is completely possible that these models look like that without having to starve themselves.
