If you know about Victoria’s Secret’s popularity and sales drops in previous years, Tyla seems like a good move. Not sure if they have expanded their brand with sizes for all, but back in the day if you ordered from the VS clothing catalog, everything was made for tall women. Tyla is 5’7” (Reports say 5’3”- 5’10”, will get back to y’all with the confirmed height) and slender, so if VS hasn’t made changes to their clothing sizes, at least Tyla fits the brand, size wise. She’s not the 5’8” female standard for runway models, but then again who are the people buying the line? Why buy from brands who don’t cater to you as an audience? #music #brands #fashion

The Comeback of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: A Not-So-Secret Playbook. At the height of Y2K, Victoria’s Secret & Co. was the lingerie brand in America. Its famed fashion show, launched in 2001, drew millions of viewers with its bombshell models and blockbuster performances. But by 2019, the show fizzled out, criticized for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and lacking inclusivity. Fast forward to 2024, and the brand’s relaunch aimed to turn the tide. How? With a playbook focusing on inclusivity, aesthetic overhaul, and girl power: Inclusivity: This year’s show featured diverse ages (Kate Moss at 50!), body types (Paloma Elsesser and Ashley Graham), and representation, including trans models Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio. While a step forward, the DEI push felt calculated, and the casting still missed the mark in truly reflecting everyday consumers. Aesthetic Overhaul: The flashy glam was swapped for natural beauty and comfy styles. Signature angel wings returned, but designs felt toned down, lacking the “magic” and sparkle of past shows. Models even had input in their looks—a refreshing change. Girl Power: With an all-female musical lineup (Hello, Cher!) and a focus on women-first narratives, the brand took a conscious step away from its male-gaze-driven past. Was it nostalgic? Yes. Fun? Always. The transformation felt safe—perhaps too safe—but still signals progress. Whether it’s a true comeback or too little, too late? Only time will tell. What did you think?

Hello everyone, Recently, Victoria’s Secret & Co. held the Victoria Secret Fashion Show after returning from a six-year hiatus, given its troubled and disturbing revelations and crimes committed by the owner of the billion-dollar business. But you know that it was promised that the new version of the show would celebrate every type of woman with its new vision, but the reality couldn't be further from this. Not a single disabled model or a model of a different size other than mainstream known faces, which are already popular, were showcased on its runway. Moreover, their styling was lousy signaling just inclusion without any attention or care to curate their looks. Not a single drag queen that specializes in 360 degrees of styling and makeup and creating a persona on stage. If we look at the show from an intersectional lens given its wide press coverage and the immense social media spotlight on who walked the runway, who wore what and its styling, which I found particularly themeless and uninspired, the show was a disappointment. And if you say that inclusivity can't be made beautiful in lingerie, I challenge you to say this after watching Rihanna's Savage x Fenty Show; the creativity and styling ooze in every frame of the show. Available to stream on Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios Since I was a teen, I always wondered if women who are celebrated on runways and in print on billboards had to look a certain way, be a fixed size, and be flawless with no cellulite, thigh gaps, wide busts and butts but tiny waists and many more such unrealistic beauty standards enforced in digital and print media. This is for every woman, young girl and child who feels insecure of how she looks; every digital and print editorial is highly digitally altered, photoshopped and now, A.I have entered the chat to even thrust this obsession with perfection to the extreme. When I saw a 10-year-old do an anti-aging skin routine with my own eyes, my mind went blank and I delved deeper into why this is happening, the i_weigh movement and Jameela Jamil with her panel of experts opened by eyes to the insidious way women are conditioned to feel insecure as we will purchase less products if we feel secure, it all circles back to money. Even the recent way of celebrity beauty brands exploding is because of this reason, but some founders like Rihanna Savage X Fenty deliver on what they promise while others just ride the wave of "treating women's bodies as trends.".
