The return of the push-up: how Victoria's Secret went from cancelling its angels to relaunching its sexiest collection

The article traces the history and evolution of Victoria’s Secret, starting from its origins in 1977 when Roy Raymond founded a lingerie store to make shopping more comfortable. It highlights the brand's transformation into a fashion phenomenon through the introduction of seasonal collections, iconic runway shows beginning in 1995, and the rise of supermodel 'angels' like Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum. However, the brand faced challenges as societal norms shifted toward inclusivity, prompting questions about representation and diversity. In 2018, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was canceled amid investor concerns and growing discourse around body positivity. The brand underwent restructuring, including separating from L Brands in 2021 and launching The VS Collective, which features diverse women such as Megan Rapinoe and Valentina Sampaio, signaling a shift toward redefining sensuality beyond traditional beauty standards.
