CanLVS Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't think it would be cultural appropriation if each model represented their own background like ThePinkDiet suggested they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 ^ That is true, but there aren't that many countries represented though. I guess if it was a small segment that was well well-thought-out it might work. It would be like a mini-Miss Universe! Also some cultures and religions are more conservative so I don't know how some of the outfits would work without looking like a mockery Personally I think they should stop with the ridiculous themes and just keep it simple by just showcasing their lingerie. Kinda like what they did in the the late 90's and early 00's (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanLVS Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah I agree, I suspect the TV deal and how big the marketing has become in recent years has put pressure on them to be more of a entertainment show than showcase their lingerie. I'd be happy having them go back to the old ways but unfortunately I doubt they do that anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siemgi Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Because there is absolutely nothing wrong with Cultural Appropriation Portraying cultures, evn ones that aren't necessarily the one one was born into, isn't always cultural appropriation, though.

PinkCouture Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 ^ You are right to certain degree but nonetheless it is a slippery slope with many layers that involves a lot of assumptions, miscommunication, misunderstandings and misinformation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePinkDiet Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Maybe you're right... Remember Karlie's 2012 native outfit? It was a big deal from nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 ^ It wasn't from nowhere but this might not be the best place to revisit the discussion. PM me if you want to further talk about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clauds Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It looks like the most recent VS pictures we've seen are not Christmas. I just went through their website looking for the Christmas cover and I didn't find it, the pictures are just from more fall stuff And there was this cover too, but not Christmas related either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savanna Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's weird. Can't think of what's for Christmas then since all the lingerie coming out now is what we have seen being used in the Christmas commercial shots, no? And all the VS people who posted pics called it or tagged it as VS Holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanLVS Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Maybe they are using the lighter coloured lingerie for holiday and the darker ones for this campaign for their fall quarter? I remember the Insta pics with Ale, Karlie and a few others had the light coloured products and people thought they were doing a naughty/nice thing but maybe they shot two campaigns at once.

Corner Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So the Angels' photo shoot for UK Vogue is in the latest issue. Taylor Swift is on the cover. I guess no cover for the girls. Bomber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePinkDiet Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^ I thought their shot was for the December issue. Since the Show is in December... Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the VS people who posted pics called it or tagged it as VS Holiday. Yup. I was sure it was Christmas too but i went through 48+ covers of VS and the only unreleased ones are those too and one with Nadine for BBV. I'll check this weekend again but it looks like either the pictures were not for Christmas or that's the cover already EDIT: Just doubled checked and didn't find it the Christmas cover, so unless VS is planning to not leak the Christmas cover this year then the pictures are not for Christmas. This is the third cover I found with the newest pictures I posted the Christmas cover Oct 5th last year, so it should be a matter of days to see this year's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
