Is it the end of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show?
The Victoria’s Secret ‘angels’, wearing the brand’s lingerie, may never take to the catwalk again, according to model Shanina Shaik
The fate of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show is uncertain after a model said this week that the lingerie brand has cancelled the iconic event.
Shanina Shaik, who has walked in several previous Victoria’s Secret fashion shows, told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday that the annual show is off.
Unfortunately the Victoria's Secret show won't be happening this year
“Unfortunately the Victoria's Secret show won't be happening this year,” she said. “It’s something I’m not used to because every year around this time I’m training like an angel.”
Victoria’s Secret and its parent company, L Brands, have not responded to emails and phone calls requesting comment on Shaik’s remarks.
Shaik said the show, which typically airs in the autumn, could be resurrected in the future.
“I’m sure they’re trying to work on branding and new ways to do the show because it's the best show in the world,” she told The Telegraph. A representative for Shaik did not respond to a request for comment.
L Brands revealed in May that it was thinking about making changes to the annual fashion show.
