Victoria's Secret's New Campaign Features Transgender and Plus-Size Models

For the uninitiated, Victoria's Secret has been scrutinized for its lack of inclusivity in the past following former L Brands’ chief marketing officer Ed Razek's comments about transgender and plus-size models.

"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," he said in an interview with Vogue. He later recanted his statement, telling ELLE.com, "To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show. We've had transgender models come to castings ... And like many others, they didn't make it ... But it was never about gender. Honestly, I really hope that a transgender model will make the show soon. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are."
