<p>The model shared her thoughts on why the brand has failed to keep up with market changes.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-victorias-secret-got-replaced-body-postivie-lingerie-parade-savage-x-fenty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria's Secret</a> announced in June of this year that it would change its company's policies and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/victorias-secret-new-plan-brand-ambassadors-inclusivity-diversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put in place a plan</a> to save it from possible bankruptcy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But for having such a limited vision of the lingerie market, the brand could not adapt to the new demands that called for a greater diversity of bodies&mdash;women no longer recognized themselves in the standard of beauty propagated by the label.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On several occasions, ex-angels (as the models who appeared at the brand's annual fashion shows were known), have spared no criticism of Victoria's Secret. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bella-hadid-birthday-age-fashion-outfit-inspiration-street-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a> revealing how she really felt walking for the brand to Bridget Malcolm's heartwarming account. Now it's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rosie-huntington-whiteley-model-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rosie Huntington-Whiteley</a>'s turn to speak out on the case.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The top model, who has just announced the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rosie-huntington-whiteley-pregnant-second-child-jason-statham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pregnancy of her second child</a>, discussed her skepticism about the changes implemented in the brand. In an interview with the English newspaper <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rosie-huntington-whiteley-youve-got-to-be-tough-youve-got-to-be-a-boss-xm7qtbsrt" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Sunday Times</em></a>, Huntington-Whiteley said that "it was a different time and it's crazy to say that because it was 11 years, which is not that long," recalling the "sexist" and "patriarchal" representations of women in company. She added, &ldquo;I really feel that Victoria's Secret has lost its way in expanding in recent years. What was missing was the cultural change that people are looking for in your brand.&rdquo;</p>
