I am regretful that @victoriassecret inspired so much of my old artwork.
For decades the corrupt company sold us a man’s narrow fantasy of what sexy women looked like.
And in the 2000s, we all bought it. I drank the Koolaid too, using their photoshopped models as my art references and religiously watching the annual fashion show.
But the world changed and VS refused to. They will never recover from their harmful messages and toxic culture. Good riddance.
Yes, this woman I drew is gorgeous. But you don’t have to look like this to be beautiful.
Buy your lingerie from companies founded by women for women. That refuse to use photoshop, who include models from all heights, weights, colors, and ages.
