The Official Victoria's Secret Thread Pinned

Am I the only one who never really cared about Saylor?  

I liked them but idc if they're paired or not. It's just another forced duo that failed. I feel like VS has tried sooo many duos with the newest: Elsa+Sara= failed. Sara+Taylor= failed. Taylor+Romee= could had work out but failed. The only one that seems to work is Joja and VS isn't making anything about because they wanted Jo to be the IT girl at some point and that did not work out.

I don’t really care much about them being some VS power duo or worry about their friendship but they do produce nice pictures together. I also like Sara and Jasmine as a combo.

or Option B:

 

Sign her as an Angel. User her and abuse her like they did with every other Angel BZ liked, to the point we will all get sick of her as we did with at one point with Adriana, Alesandra, Candice, Elsa and Josephine. We're due for another Why is VS using this bitch so much? moment 

They post so many insta models on their instagram now that I'm to the point where I'm going to unfollow them, so I'm not sick of any of the Angels yet...just unknown insta models!!

Are the Asian sector angels still a thing or did VS stop that too? It seems like they are discretely not using certain models anymore and instead reposting IG pictures.

Sui was promoting a VS perfume in her IG yesterday, I doubt she'd do it for free so I'm guessing at least Sui is still on board

quite unfortunate they're not televising the show anymore. 

I seeee. Every time I see her I always think how she would have been one of the most beautiful angels EVER but she never worked on her English so....there was that fantasy.

Ming is the face of one of the campaigns on the VS China website so I think she's still around too.

Is Madison Grace just an insta model that VS is using or is just a regular model that works for VS but doesn't a have a contract with them?

Doesn't mean they aren't going to stream it (on Twitch, or Youtube, or both?) or do something with Netflix/Hulu ect. Fingers crossed, keep the faith.

What some financial analyst are saying...

Though the move may be significant, it’s not a complete departure for Victoria’s Secret. The fashion show, after all, will still exist, just not on network television; instead, it’ll be splashed across social media feeds and likely streamed online, giving it plenty of exposure. But Goldberg says that completely walking way from the show entirely—a multimillion-dollar marketing spectacle that Victoria’s Secret spent over two decades building and associating its brand with—would be a mistake.

 

“We’ll see them walk the tight rope of staying true to their brand of aspirational beauty,” Goldberg said, “but at the same time try to feel more authentic and purpose driven, to weave more elements into the brand that are more effective with younger consumers.”

 

“However,” he added, “they have to do all that within the context of their brand positioning. I don’t think the play for Victoria’s Secret is to try and pivot and become ThirdLove,” the DTC competitor that’s been nipping away at Victoria’s Secret’s market share since 2013.

 

It’s possible that Victoria’s Secret isn’t planning a pivot at all, and the move away from network television is more in line with consumers’ viewing habits than criticism of the show’s content. To improve business, it’s paramount that Victoria’s Secret connects with a younger consumer—a generation that consumes most of their media online.

 

“What we don’t know yet is if they’ll produce that same fashion show and just try to create an online event, build an online audience and leverage influencer marketing to sell the same message that they always have,” said Goldberg. “That is absolutely possible.”

 

But Phibbs feels that the show isn’t quite the asset that the company might imagine it to be. The first priority, he says, should be deep research into how to connect with the company’s consumers and improve the in-store shopping experience, which is still its primary retail channel.

“We’ve never seen anyone else come up with a fashion show like that,” Phibbs said. “As they’ve seen viewership fall off, we haven’t seen [a competing company] try to reinvent it. So I don’t think that’s the ticket. The ticket is going to be solving what’s going wrong in the stores first.”

He added: “Then you can do anything, because you know who your market is and how you’re going to reach her.”

I love Sara with slick straight hair. Unpopular opinion but is my favourite hairstyle for her.

Btw, someone said this picture was in tons of bus stations in London.

HELLO?!

Could this be my favorite series of pictures from VS ever?

Sara and Taylor doing it right so far.

Agreed

I think I might be the only one so far to not like the pictures of Sara and Taylor. I was never a fan of Sara, but I don't like the posing, lighting, her hair, her expression, or the lingerie. 

Taylor looks too flat and bored and I'm not impressed with her picture either. 

Sara looks like John Travolta when he was young. no thanks. 

Well, at least they bring sexy back.

I just still see them very childish looking, we need Candice. 

For some reason (it might be that I'm really f*cking tired of the white wall) I really like when photos have a darker background, even if it is a plain one.

Sara looks good. Taylor looks like she is getting there but not quite there yet, and also I don't like her body pose
