NEW YORK - It was one of the most popular fashion shows for 20 years, but US lingerie brand Victoria's Secret is cancelling its annual extravaganza amid controversy and weak financial results in the #MeToo era.

The fashion show, in which models parade around with angels' wings on their backs, first aired in 1995. It was broadcast around the world, with the venue changing from year to year. But Burgdoerfer added that the brand, which was the jewel in L Brands' crown for many years, had not been able to achieve a new lease on life despite recent leadership changes.

His ill-judged comments came as demands for greater diversity on catwalks increases. They sparked an outcry on social media and he later apologised.
