May 11, 20187 yr Thank you @Prettyphile! I figured they would be real, and photoshop is used. Lingerie like that just confuses the hell out of me. As for the different sizes, VS really missed the mark there. They could probably make a killing if they offered more sizes. I saw some photos from Rhianna's line and all I can say is, damn whatta woman.

VS also (and most lingerie brands I’m sure) really love using chicken fillets/cutlet (silicon padding) which makes the girls look totally different. From Rosie HW when she was an Angel: Quote “I do believe in chicken fillets. I’ve been known to have three in at a time for shoots—plus padding.”
May 11, 20187 yr Found this post about Rihanna's line that mentioned a meeting with VS. Even if they didn't add plus sized angels or used bigger models for their campaigns, having a wider size range would definitely improve their sales. More people would buy if only they were a bit more inclusive. I understand wanting to sell a fantasy and making women want what they're selling, but with their current direction, it's all too casual and cheesy to even make me want to buy from them. If only they could go back to their sexier shoots, with darker lightning and backgrounds, they'd so much better.

Listen, i understand VS not wanting plus size models so they can sell a fantasy of the perfect woman, but they could still sell products for bigger women even if they didn't book models in those sizes. Bottom line is, they are missing opportunities and that is just dumb as fuck.

But yep, if only they expanded their sizes, they'd definitely strike gold. Wouldn't hurt to actually improve their designs and all that, either.
May 12, 20187 yr Fenty seems to have an Angel equivalent with the "Savages" but I'm guessing it's more a monthly feature thing. There's even a 'meet the savages' section of the website... I figured the 'sold out' thing was probably the Kylie Lip Kip strategy of under stocking then marketing it as demand Also I don't see how it's cheaper? On my browser it's more expensive? Like in some equivalent products even twice as expensive??? Small positive end note - I love Lais & Danielle together in that photo above. <3

Small positive end note - I love Lais & Danielle together in that photo above. <3 She's gonna be doing different collections but she's featuring the a lot of the models who also do Fenty Beauty so it's a win-win for her to promote those women because they are all gonna pimp her products back,but clearly Rihanna is the star of her own brand so I doubt she'll ever come up with a concept similar to the Angels. I don't think she's using a strategy with the sold out thing, there was literally an online queque of hours to buy the products and a lot of people (me included) couldn't even access the website because it kept crashing and when I finally got in, a lot of things were gone, it was the same when she launched Fenty Beauty. And the products that sold out first were the black/dark nudes and the products available in bigger sizes, which is Rihanna's main market: the women who can't find what they need in other stores. The price go from cheap to expensive depending on what you want. There's bras that are $48 which is cheaper than most of VS, the bralettes $26 which (i think) it's more expensive than VS and the panties also have a wide range of prices, the lingerie is the same or cheaper than VS and they have a lot more risque options as well. We'd have to see how the quality is tho, which to me is a problem with VS because in the past three years or so the quality of their products has gone down a lot and it's something I've also heard from different people, especially the quality in the panties is bad bad bad nowadays.
May 12, 20187 yr Ok. I have a question about Rihanna’s line… Are these the same as “Microfiber Hipster” and some colours just aren’t available at the store right now?
May 12, 20187 yr I doubt she was actually being malious considering they seem to be good friend, and she is the face of his Raw Spirits brand.
May 12, 20187 yr If she truly was trying to avoid coming back to work by claiming her maternity leave time as fulfilling her contract, it seems that there has been no firm decision on that.

I really wish she would grow out her hair longer again, she looked much younger and relaxed and everything she did didn’t looked so forced but that’s just my opinion

She hasn't shot with VS since October or early November of last year, hasn't done an event for them outside of the VSFS since July of 2016 and now this.
May 12, 20187 yr Yeah, I think that Lily’s done with VS too. I was suspecting because she hasn’t shot for them for months and this new RiRi thing just confirms it imo. I wouldn’t mind if she leaves, it leaves space for the new angels to grow more.
May 12, 20187 yr Is Elsa lying about her age? Hands, neck, and decoltee usually show signs of aging even if the face is Botoxed.
