Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show cancelled for first time in 23 years (mirror.co.uk).
VS Angel Shanina Shaik, who has walked in the show seven times since 2011, revealed the news to The Australian Daily Telegraph on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old veteran dropped the huge bombshell and admitted that the famous catwalk show would be taking a break in 2019.
With the brand having come under fire for its lack of diversity and promoting an unhealthy body image—which seemingly saw the LOVE advent take a rain check last year (see related stories)—and Leslie Wexner, chief executive of Victoria’s Secret’s parent company L Brands confirming that the show would no longer be broadcast on network television: Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show cancelled after lowest viewer ratings ever (dailystar.co.uk).
Last year, the Victoria Secret show hit an all-time low with ratings, with only 3.27 million viewers tuning in, compared to 12.4 million at its peak in 2001.
