On Thursday night, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid were just some of the models who walked the catwalk in their lingerie for the 2018 Victoria's Secret show.

While Victoria's Secret has previously praised themselves for championing diversity by including models of different ethnicities. The brand has faced heavy criticism for their frankly archaic view, when it comes to both plus-size and transgender models.

In a time when the likes of Tess Holliday and Ashley Graham have graced the covers of Cosmopolitan and Vogue. And Giuliana Farfalla and Valentina Sampaio made history with their Playboy and Vogue covers, you would think that Victoria's Secret would want to move with the times.

However, in a new interview, Chief Marketing Officer, Ed Razek, has revealed why the brand refuse to cast transgender and plus-size models in their shows.

In an interview with Vogue, Razek defended his "brand point of view" by first saying that he had considered putting both transgender and plus models in the show. However, he hadn't because,"we market who we sell to, and we don't market to the whole world".

Going on to defend his decision Razek said, "we attempted to do a television special for plus-sizes [in 2000]. No one had any interest in it, still don’t."

It was actually Sophia Loren.

She said in an interview not long ago that she was giving Ms. Mansfield “that look”, not because of jealousy, but because she was sure that Jayne was going to experience a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ at any second.
