“We’re Nobody’s Third Love, We’re Their First Love”—The Architects of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Are Still Banking on Bombshells
Does the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show need an overhaul? That depends on whom you ask. Internally, Victoria’s Secret believes it has many good reasons to stick with the Angel wings and status quo. Here’s one: Last year the show, which was filmed in Shanghai, China, was seen by some 1 billion people in 190 countries, a 45 percent increase over 2016. Victoria’s Secret’s critics, in contrast, see mounting evidence of a cultural shift that has both influenced and been impacted by changes in fashion; a social media–savvy generation that expects to see themselves reflected in advertising and marketing; and, not least of all, a shift in the lingerie business itself. Maybe you’ve heard of Rihanna’s little project, Savage x Fenty?
This is an interview with Ed Razek, chief marketing officer of L Brands. His name is pervasive throughout the NY Times story referenced by Q.

Though of that myself, including a few I have known personally. Makes me wonder if they also had been put in situations such as these.
"The Wexner Center for the Arts"
We fuel creative expression, ignite cultural curiosity, and offer unique experiences across all art forms that enliven the local landscape while promoting global connections and understanding.
The Wexner Center for the Arts is The Ohio State University's multidisciplinary, international laboratory for the exploration and advancement of contemporary art. Through exhibitions, screenings, performances, artist residencies, and education programs, the Wexner Center acts as a forum where established and emerging artists can test ideas and where diverse audiences can participate in cultural experiences that enhance the understanding of the art of our time.
In its programs, the Wexner Center balances a commitment to experimentation with a commitment to traditions of innovation and affirms the university's mission of education, research, and community service.
Values
We believe in the power of the arts to illuminate and reflect the complexities of contemporary life and to foster cross-cultural exchange, understanding, and respect. We champion creative inquiry and experimentation among artists and audiences alike, connecting them through provocative and inspiring productions, programs, and personal encounters.
Impact
Over its nearly three decades, the Wex has become an essential cultural and educational resource for the university and the city, helping to spark the evolution of Columbus as a more open, progressive, and sophisticated place to live, work, and play. We support artists in the creation and presentation of new work in all media, providing unparalleled arts experiences to diverse audiences locally, and often beyond. As a nexus for cultural research, production, and experience—and as a platform for the exchange of ideas—the Wexner Center is a vital agent for social change.

BELONG'
We are in a time where our environment is under threat as never before. Images from natural catastrophes in Australia, USA and most every content flood our screens daily. 'BELONG’ is my project of passion about The Kimberley Ranges in West Australia, the place I have always felt the most connected to on this planet. This project has taken on a new importance to me as I hope that it will remind us of just what we are fighting for, and about our fragile human connection to this planet.
'Belong' has been created with the incredible support of friends, family, agents, managers and others in my life. As I carefully build this artistic presentation I am also committed to building the natural philanthropic component around it that will be provide support to causes and people on the front line of this global effort.
I’m filled with gratitude to announce that ‘Belong’ will premiere at @camerworks in Berlin in the European Fall this year before embarking on a global tour. I’ll be providing full details as we get closer.
