Popular lingerie line Victoria’s Secret sparked an outrage following Edward Razek, the chief marketing officer of the brand’s comment about using transgender models in their fashion Show, saying it won’t come to pass. Speaking to Vogue, Edward said; “[It’s] like, why don’t you do 50? Why don’t you do 60? Why don’t you do 24? It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show?
No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at us because we’re the leader.”Razek apologised for his “insensitive” remarks. “To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show,” he wrote. 
“We’ve had transgender models come to castings …and like many others, they didn’t make it … but it was never about gender. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are,” the chief marketing officer wrote. Courtney Stodden, an American media personality, model, and singer is having none of it as she has taken to social media to protest naked. Sharing naked photos of herself she wrote; After Edward Razek’s comments about ALL women and what the brand reflects… I’d rather go naked than wear Victoria’s Secret,’ Stodden said.’Ladies, wear your wings proud. We’re all unique AND beautiful, Stodden continued.
