Victoria’s Secret plans to remodel its more than 1,400 stores over the next few years as part of a brand turnaround under a new management team.

Progress is underway: It unveiled its new look at its flagship store in Manhattan, New York, last month and has been gradually making changes at other locations.

Insider visited its London flagship store last month and saw the updates firsthand. Here are five of the biggest changes we spotted during our visit, with photos from before and after.

More inclusive displays in store windows

The most immediate difference was the ads in the windows. Images of scantily dressed models — often its Angels — were replaced with photos of fuller-figured women wearing day-to-day pieces from its underwear collections.
