The industry has opened its doors up diverse groups of women that do not conform to the fashion world’s definition of ‘female beauty’ (Givan, 2017). Society has started to voice profound situations of thoughtlessness and cavalier culture appropriation, in order for the fashion world to start embracing diversity (Givan, 2017). Therefore, the aim of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the opinions and views that women in South Africa had toward Victoria Secret, in order to determine if their perceptions aligned with the brands identity. This study was based on an axiological position of interpretivism. The primary research findings were collected using semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The nine participants that took part in the study were; female consumers between the ages of 18 to 25 that reside in the East of Pretoria, South Africa. Participants had either come into contact with, or purchased the Victoria Secret brand previously. The semi-structured interviews contained the following; eighteen in-depth questions, two Victoria’s

  • The Wonderbra Is Dead!
    The Wonderbra is Dead! by Kerry Cue The Canberra Times 20 OCT 2004 Herald Sun, Vic and The Advertiser, SA The Wonderbra is dead. The va-va-voom in your face cleavage enhancer is no more. If you see a bra at the side of the road or hanging on a fence, it is probably a Wonderbra that has gone feral and ended up as roadkill. The Wonderbra. Died. Australia. 2003. Age 34 years. Males need not fear up-front and bouncing cleavage across Australia is about to settle down into something more sedate like Cross-Your-Heart bras designed for chastity, comfort and the grandmothers of the current chaos of cleavage. What where those grandmothers thinking? Their bras were designed to ‘lift and separate’! How old fashioned and quaint and so ‘fifty years ago’. The goal of any self-respecting bra today is to whack ‘em together and shove ‘em up as high as they’ll go without bringing tears to a girl’s eyes. As a result, there are plenty of push-up bras on the market today supporting cleavage in eye-boggling proportions. Indeed, so much science has been thrown at cleavage enhancement a girl can now buy bras engineered to provide that extra cantilever lift with either gel, water, air bags, foam, cream, padding or chicken fillets. I don’t mean chicken fillets, skin off, $9.99 kg. The advent of plunging, backless, sideless dresses held together with optimism and double-sided tape demanded a new form of bosom engineering. Science answered with the skin-tone, breast-shaped, silicon, adhesive bra cup.

Running Head: The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 1 The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century Jolene Khor Western Michigan University The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 2 Abstract It is common knowledge that a brassiere, more widely known as a bra, is an important if not a vital part of a modern woman’s wardrobe today. In the 21st century, a brassiere is no more worn for function as it is for fashion. In order to understand the evolution of function to fashion of a brassiere, it is necessary to account for its historical journey from the beginning to where it is today. This thesis paper, titled The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century will explore the history of brassiere in the last 100 years. While the paper will briefly discuss the pre-birth of the brassiere during Minoan times, French Revolution and early feminist movements, it will largely focus on historical accounts after the 1900s.

And with it we see the many possibilities for combining the very separate worlds of ready-to-wear and luxury intimate wear. Floral blooms, ivy everywhere, perfumed moss, flowers flow throughout the windows of the two-story and six rooms called the “La Perla Manor”, where the models are arranged and sat on couches before they walked, one by one on the runway. “I was inspired by the British garden as interpreted by artists throughout history”, said Haart. The designer made a visual the artistic interpretation of British gardens across six sections of a British manor. MORE La Perla FW17 2 Her concept was nature that is viewed by a human being with vibrant color, fierceness, and sensuality. The music was a rock and roll alternative to show the vibrant side the designer wanted to showcase. Haart worked floral motifs throughout her luscious lineup with a galore burst of color and texture. The looks capture a spirit of joyful spunk. Naomi Campbell opens the show in a blue silk and lace slip dress under a macramé-embroidered tweed coat. The texture of the tweed coat shows it’s heavy and durable side which gives a message of strength and masculinity.

  • Victoria's Secret As a Do-It-Yourself Guide Lexie Kite University of Utah
    Running Head: VS as a Do‐It‐Yourself Guide 1 From Objectification to Self-Subjectification: Victoria’s Secret as a Do-It-Yourself Guide Lexie Kite University of Utah Third-Year Doctoral Student Department of Communication 1 Running Head: VS as a Do‐It‐Yourself Guide 2 In the U.S. and now across the world, a multi-billion-dollar corporation has been fighting a tough battle for female empowerment since 1963, and according to their unmatched commercial success, women appear to be quite literally buying what this ubiquitous franchise is selling. Holding tight to a mission statement that stands first and foremost to “empower women,” and a slogan stating the brand is one to “Inspire, Empower and Indulge,” the franchise “helps customers to feel sexy, bold and powerful” (limitedbrands.com, 2010). This is being accomplished through the distribution of 400 million catalogs to homes each year, a constant array of television commercials all hours of the day, a CBS primetime show viewed by 100 million, and 1,500 mall storefront displays in the U.S. alone (VS Annual Report, 2009). And to the tune of 5 billion dollars every year, women are buying into the envelope-pushing “empowerment” sold by Victoria’s Secret, the nation’s premiere lingerie retailer. Due to Victoria’s Secret’s ubiquitous media presence and radical transformation from a modest, Victorian-era boutique to a sexed-up pop-culture phenomenon in the last decade, a critical reading of VS’s media texts is highly warranted. Having been almost completely ignored in academia, particularly in the last 15 years as the company has morphed from a place for men to shop for women to a women-only club (Juffer, 1996, p.
