The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Is Officially Canceled—Goodbye & Good Riddance!

It’s true: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is canceled for 2019. Not as in, we’re boycotting The show was completely, officially dragged off the air for good. Victoria’s Secret’s parent company, L Brands, confirmed as much in a public statement issued today, Nov. 21. “We think it’s important to evolve the messaging of Victoria’s Secret,” said Stuart Burgdoerfer, the CFO to L Brands, in his statement. Sounds like a plan—one that’s been a long time coming for the Angels.

While we love the roster of VS models—from the Brazilian autism awareness activist Lais Ribeiro to the natural hair advocate Jourdana Phillips—we certainly don’t love the transphobic statements that have been shared in the past by Victoria’s Secret’s CMO, Ed Razek, and EVP of Public Relations, Monica Mitro. In a controversial interview with Vogue this time last year, Razek said, “Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should.

Razek has since quit, and it looks like CFO Stuart Burgdoerfer is learning from his mistakes. “We will be communicating to customers but nothing similar in magnitude to the fashion show,” he said, “We will communicate to customers through lots of vehicles including social media and other channels.” Hopefully, we can expect these “communications” to be inclusive and supportive of all communities. You know, like Victoria Secret’s competing brand, Savage x Fenty? Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show, which took place last year three months before Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fashion Show, set a model for diversity in the industry.
