History

Victoria's Secret was founded in San Francisco, California, in 1977 by Tufts University and Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond,[4] who felt embarrassed trying to purchase lingerie for his wife in a department store environment. He opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, and quickly followed it with a mail-order catalog and three other stores.[4] The stores were meant to create a comfortable environment for men, with wood-paneled walls, Victorian details and helpful sales staff. Instead of racks of bras and panties in every size, there were single styles, paired together and mounted on the wall in frames. Men could browse for styles for women and sales staff would help estimate the appropriate size, pulling from inventory in the back rooms.

In 1982, after five years of operation, Roy Raymond sold the Victoria's Secret company, with its six stores and 42-page catalogue, grossing $6 million per year, to Leslie Wexner, creator of The Limited, for $4 million.[5] The Limited kept the personalized image of Victoria's Secret intact. Victoria's Secret was rapidly expanded into the U.S. malls throughout the 1980s. The company was able to vend a widened range of products, such as shoes, evening wear, and perfumes, with its mail catalog issued eight times annually. By the early 1990s, Victoria's Secret had become the largest American lingerie retailer, topping one billion dollars.

Beginning in 1995, Victoria's Secret began holding the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is broadcast on primetime American television. The show is a lavish event with elaborate costumed lingerie, varying music, and set design according to the different themes running within the show. The show attracts hundreds of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and/or acts every year.

On July 10, 2007, Limited Brands sold 75% of The Limited clothing chain to firm Sun Capital Partners to focus and boost sales growth on Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works units, which provided 72% of revenue in 2006 and almost all the firm's profit.[6] There are 1,000 Victoria's Secret lingerie stores and 100 independent Victoria's Secret Beauty Stores in the US, mostly in shopping centers. They sell a range of brassieres, panties, hosiery, cosmetics, sleepwear, and other products. Victoria's Secret mails more than 400 million of its catalogs per year.[2] Under pressure from environmentalist groups, Victoria's Secret's parent firm and a conservation group have reached an agreement to make the lingerie retailer's catalog more environmentally friendly in 2006. The catalog will no longer be made of pulp supplied from any woodland caribou habitat range in Canada, unless it has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The catalogs will also be made of 10 percent recycled paper from post-consumer waste.[7]

The company gained notoriety in the early 1990s after it began to use supermodels in its advertising and fashion shows. Throughout the past decade, it has turned down celebrity models and endorsements.[8] The company buys organic and fair trade grown cotton, to make its panties.

On October 22, 2008, Victoria's Secret launched a Spanish version of its website.[9]

International expansion

Canada

Victoria's Secret opened their first stores outside the United States in three Canadian cities: Edmonton in August 2010, Toronto in August 2010 and Calgary in May 2011. Edmonton and Calgary have the only four locations in Western Canada, which includes the West Edmonton Mall, Kingsway Mall, Chinook Centre, and Southcentre Mall, while eight locations were opened in Toronto, including Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Toronto Eaton Centre, Upper Canada Mall, Mapleview Centre in Burlington, Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke and Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga in which holds the largest store in Canada. Quebec's first store will open in 2012 at Carrefour Laval. Atlantic Canada's first store will also open in 2012 in the Halifax Shopping Centre.

Middle East

The first Victoria Secret stores outside North America opened in Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, although these are franchise stores owned and operated by M.H. Alshaya Co primarily offering beauty and branded accessory products.[10]

Caribbean

The Brand’s first Caribbean store opened in November 2011 at Plaza Las Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[11] A second store will open in October 2012 at Sambil Santo Domingo Mall in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.[12]

Poland

First Polish store is opening its doors in May 2012 at Złote Tarasy in Warsaw and will be operated by M.H. Alshaya Co.

United Kingdom

In November 2005, the company opened its first boutique in the UK at Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5 with the help of World Duty Free.[13] In 2012, Victoria's Secret will open their first 16,500-square-foot (1,530 m2) flagship store on New Bond Street, London [14] as part of two or three stores opening across the city. It also plans further nationwide expansion across the UK. Victoria's Secret executive vice president and chief administrative officer Martyn R Redgrave told WWD "That's what we're looking to do as we expand, in the U.K. in particular, and those will be company-owned and operated."[15]

Victoria's Secret Angels

Although it now refers to the brand's most visible spokeswomen (while the fashion show models are referred to as "Runway Angels"), the Angels started out as Victoria's Secret's lingerie line.[16] The models featured in the original advertising campaign in 1997 were Helena Christensen, Karen Mulder, Daniela Pestova, Stephanie Seymour, and Tyra Banks.[17] Due to their growing popularity, the brand used them in several other advertising campaigns until Christensen's departure.[16][18] In February 1998, the Angels made their runway debut at Victoria's Secret's 4th annual fashion show, with Chandra North filling in for Christensen.[18] Their line-up has been changed multiple times over the years and the brand currently lists 11 supermodels on its website, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.[19] Among other recognitions, the Victoria's Secret Angels were chosen to be part of People Magazine's annual "100 Most Beautiful People in the World" issue in 2007[20] and became the first trademark awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 13, 2007.[21]

Other notable spokesmodels for the brand have included: Claudia Schiffer,[22] Eva Herzigova,[18] Ana Hickmann,[23] Oluchi Onweagba,[24] Jessica Stam,[25] Emanuela de Paula,[26] Katsia Zingarevich,[27] Lais Ribeiro,[28] and Toni Garrn.[29] Both Ana Beatriz Barros[30] and Daria Werbowy[31] are known to have turned down an Angel contract.

Pink

Pink is a sub-brand founded in 2004 and marketed toward late-teen and college-age women, selling age-appropriate[citation needed] underwear, sleepwear, lounge wear, beauty products, and accessories, with the intent to transition buyers into more adult product lines, such as Angels, Very Sexy, and Body by Victoria.[66] Pink's yoga pants in particular, are popular within the college-aged group.[citation needed] The brand is marketed to be fun, playful, and flirtatious.[citation needed] Ambrosio, Kerr, and Prinsloo have all been official faces of Pink. Other models, such as Jessica Stam, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,[60] Erin Heatherton,[67] Chanel Iman,[67] Candice Swanepoel,[68] and Elsa Hosk[69] have appeared in events for the brand. Promotions for the line come from college tours, tie-ins with the music channel MTV, and social media such as Facebook, MySpace. In 2011, the line announced a partnership with all 32 NFL teams and began selling apparel containing NFL team logos and names.[70]

Cesar Gaspariano

Cesar Gaspariano:  No, she may not have the biggest boobs, she may not have the biggest ass, she might not have that body or face of a Victoria's Secret angel or an import model, she might not have those features that would catch your eye, but that doesn't make her any different from those girls that have those physical traits. Just because she isn't as attractive as other girls, doesn't make her any less fun, any less interesting, any less beautiful on the inside cause some of those "sexy" girls, are straight up bitches. So ladies, if you think you're ugly, it isn't true. It just takes the right guy to see it. Let everybody else miss out on how awesome you are. #fact#

John Burdick

John Burdick:  We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note ... these are all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE! 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really. 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round is a shape. 1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping
