Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to Return in 2023 as a “New Version”

Following the released piece, Razek, who has actually considering that resigned, released an apology the next day.

“My remark regarding the inclusion of transgender models in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show came across as insensitive,” his declaration on Twitter read. “I apologize. To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show. We’ve had transgender models come to castings…And like many others, they didn’t make it…But it was never about gender. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are.”

Months after the ordeal, L Brands creator Les Wexner exposed in May 2019 that the business was reassessing the fashion show.

“Fashion is a business of change. We must evolve and change to grow. With that in mind, we have decided to re-think the traditional Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Going forward we don’t believe network television is the right fit,” a memo checked out at the time. “In 2019 and beyond, we’re focusing on developing exciting and dynamic content and a new kind of event – delivered to our customers on platforms that she’s glued to … and in ways that will push the boundaries of fashion in the global digital age.”
