Edge On The Clock: Victoria’s Secret Ends Its Annual Fashion Show

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – No angel wings on runway models this holiday season. Victoria’s Secret is ending its nearly quarter-century tradition: it will not hold its annual fashion show this year, a cultural phenomenon that began in 1995. Various media outlets report parent company L Brands made the announcement during the company’s third quarter earnings call Thursday.

The company said the marketing strategy for the brand is evolving. The move follows months of speculation the show wouldn’t happen this year, and years of declining TV ratings.

Plus, the producers of critically acclaimed movies Get Out and Us dropped the trailer for Antebellum, starring singer and actor Janelle Monae. And, Radar Online said it best: Kanye’s comeback is failing so far. Ticket sales for the extravagant opera performance he is debuting this Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles are slumping.
