The 1 Thing Nobody Ever Tells You About the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

As a fashion editor who addresses body-image issues almost daily, I couldn't believe how easily I accepted the flawless figures on the runway. When the VS show rolls around, everyone seems to eat up the "bombshell" look, perhaps ignoring the mixed emotions they feel about industry standards and the push toward model diversity. Guilty as charged, I lived in the Victoria's Secret fantasy world. Just like I sometimes find myself admiring glossy retouched photos from magazines, which definitely do not depict reality, I kind of loved it.
