This has very little to do with it.
I used to LOVE Victoria’s Secret back in college and through most of my 20s. This was the era when the iconic “Angels” were first rolled out - Helena Christensen, Stephanie Seymour, Heidi Klum, and peak Tyra Banks. My roommate and I looked forward to the catalog arriving at the dorm and we’d excitedly pick out what we wanted to order for ourselves (and well, our boyfriends).
That was peak VS. Sexy aspirational models, yes, but the bras, lingerie, and clothes (yes, they actually sold clothes back then), were well made and classy.
Then the brand got diluted. They got greedy and rolled out this PINK line that looked like it was aimed at teenagers, they dropped a bunch of sizes, discontinued swimwear and clothing, and the quality went to absolute SHIT!
That’s why most women stopped buying.

And then they decided that the solution to those strategic errors was woke marketing. 4d chess move.
