Most of us have been watching the VS fashion show since Tyra and Heidi used to own the stage. It’s the most watched fashion event, for many obvious reasons. It showcases gorgeous, multicultural women with bodies that fit most people’s definition of physical “perfection” and it’s super colorful.
Win: The new VS image promotes fitness and healthy eating, which inspire women to put in the work and be their best, healthy selves.
Fail: Though exercise is promoted, VS still exclusively features women who most likely are naturally thin. Not much body type diversity. Something simple as adding some models without thigh gaps can showcase that all body types can “train like angels” and be fit. #allwomen
Win: Model Maria Borges changed the game by rocking her new haircut, widening the term “Victoria’s Secret Hair”. Sexy hair doesn’t always mean long, waves.
Win: More behind the scenes footage of the process (hair extensions, body makeup, etc). I mean, who wouldn’t look amazing after 10 pounds of hair extensions and 1,000 people primping you to VS perfection?
Fail: VS still displays a very limited look into the models lives. Not enough emphasis on who the girls are as people, just a lot of kisses and “silly” antics.
