Victoria's Secret could be set to spruce up stores and campaigns

Victoria's Secret (VS) has been through a rebrand over the last five years.

It veered away from traditional supermodels to showcase more inclusivity.


However, this approach has not translated into sales, according to a report.

Sales are expected to have dropped this year by five per cent which could see the brand change direction.

VS might attempt to ramp up its "sexiness", according to a report by CNN.

It could see it return to its glamorous roots and the company will reportedly revamp stores, launch into new categories and bring back some of the "old" Victoria's Secret.

However, this should not affect inclusivity, as bosses said "sexiness can be inclusive".

According to the report, Victoria's Secret and Pink brand president Greg Unis said: "Sexiness can celebrate the diverse experiences of our customers and that’s what we’re focused on."

VS has seen a lot of changes in the last few years. It is known for its stunning models, called "angels", and its lingerie, activewear and swimwear.

The retailer used to showcase this at an annual fashion show.

However, this was scrapped in 2018 amid growing calls for more diversity and a more feminist message on the runway.

It also came as some models shared concerning details of the extreme diets they went on before the show.

VS has run campaigns with some of the most famous models in the world.

Heidi Klum has walked the runway many times throughout her career.

Heidi has spoken about her skin care regime and how she looks incredible at 50.

Former VS model Claudia Schiffer shared the daily habit that is a must for glowing skin.
