Victoria’s Secret Hires Condé Nast Creative Director Raul Martinez

Spoiler

Anna Wintour’s longtime right hand, creative director at the publisher of Vogue, Vanity Fair and GQ, is joining the lingerie giant as head creative director following the departure of its chief executive, John Mehas, in November. Martinez will continue to be based in New York and begin his new role in January.

 

Martinez started working with Wintour as early as her first issue for Vogue in 1988, according to the New York Times, and left the magazine in 1995 to start a creative and branding agency. He returned to Vogue as a consultant in 2009, and was named to the corporate head role in 2015.

At Victoria’s Secret, Martinez will report to Martin Waters, the newly appointed head of the lingerie division, and join the company during a crucial period of brand reinvention following years of sales slumps and criticism that its vision of feminine sexuality was out of touch on the #MeToo era.

I wanted Tom Ford but I'll settle as this seems promising.

Anyone know which VS pink model this is, and where/how I can find a larger version of the image? This is from the Fall 2013 VS PINK catalog, thanks!

I'm looking at the VS x FLL Holiday campaign and it's interesting to me how they can put out such good work with their collaborations and then be so entirely lacklustre with their own mainline. I'm sure FLL is leading the art direction on this, but you'd think VS would want to at least pretend to compete on the same level with their other lines. 

 

Edit: For comparison:

 

 

   

I completely agree with you, too darn hot! The VS holiday is lackluster to me. 

Just chiming in to say that I agree that VS holiday is lackluster. very disappointing. 

Almost everyone of those pictures scares me.

The trend is definitely going with cute instead of sexy. VS has always dominated sexy as the cute market is saturated. 

She was pregnant at the time but VS still had her working. #Savage

Ok, looks a bit better. 

Glad the lighting isn’t so harsh on the spring campaign. That’s one of the main things that stuck out on the holiday photos. 

It still looks washed out/flat lighting to me.  Obviously this is working for them since they're still trucking along with this style but it really isn't selling to me as a consumer. 

Although I don't totally dislike the holiday photos but I do think they are underwhelming and kinda "meh"   One thing I thought was humorous and lame were the public bathroom shoots (and the noticeable number of shoots taken in the bathroom in general) :

Maybe VS is trying to tell us something

 

Before: Candice has a tummy ache and is disrobing. After: Alexina had a nice and freeing experience in the toilet

Maybe the girls need to increase their fiber intake?
