I think the Victoria Secret supermodel era is enjoying its final moments of desire, if there is actually any left; a change that is pretty much welcomed by most women.

The once desirable skinny body type that seemed only possible if your diet was confined to just ice, is being replaced more realistic ideals of women. Perhaps it is the Instagram era, but brands are finally becoming more comfortable conforming to the consumer’s desire as opposed to creating an independent desire that only a few can buy into.

After seeing snippets on social media of Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty Lingerie Show at the New York Fashion Week, it is clear that the only thing it has in common with Victoria’s Secret is the entertainment aspect as it included performances by Migos, DJ Khaled and others. This in itself is interesting to see because entertainment and desirability always seemed to be wrapped around a certain look.
