Victoria’s Secret has hired its first openly transgender lingerie model.
Victoria’s Secret has previously been criticized for omitting transgender models from its shows and advertising.
Ed Razek, chief marketing officer for L Brands, the parent company of Victoria’s Secret, came under fire in November 2018 after stating in an interview with Vogue that he did not think the lingerie brand should include “transsexuals” in its annual runway show. "Why not? Because the show is a fantasy," Razek said."It's a 42-minute entertainment special. That's what it is."“To be clear, we would absolutely cast a transgender model for the show,” he wrote in a statement. “We’ve had transgender models come to castings and like many others they didn’t make it, but it was never about gender.”
