Victoria’s Secret is Out: An Outdated Fantasy

This year’s annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show, which aired on December 2nd, was no different from past shows--the models were all one size (skinny), cis, and their skin tones varied within a narrow spectrum of beige (with the exception of a few). Although the brand claims that the runway was 50% models of color this year, one thing was for certain: they clearly haven’t learned anything about the importance of diversity.

The Model Diversity Project Promotes Inclusion in the Fashion Industry

The first installment from the campaign, for which Crosse and Michael served as creative directors with assistance from acclaimed hair stylist Yancey Edwards and stylist Steffany Allen, is a photo shoot (shot by Ken Robinson) that features models of different sizes, ages, and races. The social media campaign highlights these models in an editorial manner to shutdown the notion that beauty comes in one package.
