Victoria's Secret: The Tour '23

I couldn't watch most of it because it was so cringey. Trashy musical guest and overall awkward composition. Sure there was talent in the designers, but what happened? The glamour, the fancy and intricate costumes that drew us in and made the brand unique are gone. Fantasy is what sold the merchandise and made customers loyal. This display was strange and confusing. VS has done an over-correct on their brand and this just felt like one big virtue signal. "Look at how aware and diverse we are going around the world giving artists a voice". Ok, nice but yawn. Read the room. Also was Gigi Hadid's voiceover done while wearing a mask? The whole thing felt like a disappointing mess. Bring back the old VS models and glam. No one really wants this. The brand has lost its way. As a former long time employee I am saddened. Not to mention the stores have awful service now. The company's focus is just wrong and this film was a portrayal of that. A dull and boring company has snuffed out the light of a company that once shined so bright.

Let's be honest... we all loved what the old VS show was about and also the fact that we could buy the products. What we didn't love was the feeling that some got of not being as beautiful and skinny as the models. So in this sense I liked the film, we could see more variety AND the traditional models as well. It also shows how women can be engaged and be really good in all forms of art. I also liked that not the traditional features of the cultures they addressed were the ones that were shown, they focused on other aspects. Why is this boring as well? Because you don't feel like buying the products for your daily life... actually you don't feel like buying the products at all. You don't feel like watching a Victoria Secret product at all. I skipped like 40% of the movie to see the runways because some of the stories or shootings were boring to me. I didn't understand the connection between the clothes and the paintings or the songs... I love Japanese culture but what they showed was really disappointing. The clothes were HIDEOUS. Not even the beautiful and different models made them look good. Of all the designers you could find in Japan, why this one? Why this collection? No one would wear that! I think the models felt uncomfortable as well.

If I need to pick one word that describes this movie it must be "disconnect". This "movie" describes one thing and one thing clearly, the demise and fall of Victoria's Secret. Gone are the classical ten's, the models that carried the not only the skimpy clothes but the brand, the models that made men go in and buy expensive underwear for both their spouses and others. This movie does not reflect on them but the new Victoria's Secret but in what way? I don't understand what they want to portray, it's not about the clothes, it's not about a transition from beautiful to beast or why did we break our company. The 90 minutes or so of runtime is spent giving nothing and taking all but time. It's disconnected from the viewer, from the models, from the underwear and from the company. It would be best to call this a requiem for a dying beast.

Bon film !

I had so much hope for vs! But this was boring and I was very disappointed! My opinion is that this was not a fashion show at all! No great clothing! Bad hair and make up! Plain stories!!! I was so exited to see this show but I felt very bored! I hoped to see more fashion, hair, make up! Behind the scenes! I thought it was cool they cave females artists a spotlight! But it was not interesting enough!!! The old show was so spectacular and interesting! I know it's hard to change a brand in such a short time but unfortunately this was a hard miss for me! Hope they are doing a better job next year with more passion and more interesting content!

I just watched this a couple days ago. I have never reviewed a film before but this film was so atrocious, I had to do it. It's supposed to be the Victorias Secret fashion show but what the heck was that? What the FRIK was the carrot dance??? What did I watch??? I am absolutely confused and appalled by this disaster of a film. It's dark, it's depressing, it looks like a clear representation of America right now though. All of the beauty, wonder, and inspiration was just sucked out of it. Most of the models didn't even look like they were in lingerie which is what Victoria's Secret sells. I barely saw any wings. It was nothing like what I've grown up watching. I completely understand trying to do something different but they definitely missed the mark on this.

After offensive comments were made by former VS CMO back in 2019, the company was chewed out by much of the public, resulting in VS making massive changes to the way they do things. They decided to stop the VS Fashion Show and decided to take a new approach. Yes, change was necessary... but the company choosing to cancel the VS Fashion Show is proving to be a huge downfall for the company. This documentary was good. But it felt more like a Victorias Secret sponsored show for fashion designers around the world. That is amazing!... don't get me wrong... but the many of the items being shown in the documentary aren't being sold by VS. It documented the lives of artists from all over the world. Again, this is amazing, but a lot of the documentary has absolutely nothing to do with VS... aside with some of the models being VS Angels. The documentary just doesn't make sense in my opinion. I do still see this as a beautiful project, but I can't stop thinking about the classic VS Fashion Show we lost. This seems like a way for the company to get forgiveness from the public. I strongly believe that if the company grew the female leadership within the company while keeping the OG fashion show, they would be seeing more viewership. If you're a VS fan, check this documentary out. For me, it just didn't make sense.... The marketing at the moment is all over the place trying to mend the past mistakes the company has made. The approach they are taking is not helping in my opinion.

Where are all the wings where is the lingerie that is similar to what we will buy in stores? Like the culture part thats why it got 1 star but I wanted a fashion show not a lets learn. All of the clothes are so unrealistic and a one wear thing. They made the larger girls look bad and put sacks over the skinny models. I dont know why they had to do these models dirty but they did. Victoria secret go back to basics and throw this out or at least dont relate it to your fashion show cause this aint it. More wings and lingerie less story please. The filming looked great and probably cost a lot too bad it was wasted.
