For years, brands like Abercrombie & Fitch and women’s lingerie company Victoria’s Secret dominated mainstream clothing culture in America, and they did so by dominating the malls of America. Victoria’s Secret went the extra mile, hiring all the toVictoria’sels in the world — Stephanie Seymour, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gisele Bündchen, Laetitia Casta, Helena Christensen, Heidi Klum- to be the face of the company, thus making it seem all the more enticing to the women of America.
But like Abercrombie & Fitch, which had its own scandals, Victoria’s Secret, which not-so-coincidentally was owned by the same CEO, eccentric billionaire Les Wexner, the company’s own dubious practices, including Wexner’s relationship with billionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, almost ruined the company. All of this is explored in the new documentary, “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons.” Here’s the official synopsis:
Investigated with journalistic rigor by director Matt Tyrnauer, this documentary tells the searing and provocative story of the Victoria’s Secret brand and its longtime CEO, the larger-than-life, enigmatic billionaire Les Wexner. The underworld of fashion, the billionaire class, and Jeffrey Epstein are all revealed to be inextricably intertwined with the fall of this legendary brand in “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons.”
Directed by Matt Tyrnauer, he also executive produces with his Altimeter Films partner Corey Reeser; Film 45’s Peter Berg, Matt Goldberg, and Brandon Carroll; Elizabeth Rogers and Jenny Ewig. “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons” debuts on Hulu on July 14. Watch the trailer below.
