The beginning and end of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Twenty years ago, a casual phone call led to a huge transformation in fashion and television. The annual Victoria Secret fashion show was born the following year. In the first year, the show didn’t attract many models, because everyone had doubts about the show, and didn’t understand the meaning of the show.
From a quiet event at the Plaza Hotel to a grand event watched by millions of people, what happened to Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? The first Victoria Secret fashion show was held in New York Square Hotel, with only long shot and close-up shot. The manager was not very satisfied with the result, but decided to try again when the media reported that the show was the underwear boom of this century.
In 1997, Tyra Banks wore diamond dream bra as the first color model. The first wing element appeared in 1998. This is the recognition of the Angel Series underwear launched by Victoria’s Secret brand. In 1999, Victoria’s Secret fashion show was first broadcast on the Internet. It was first broadcasted in ABC in 2001, and 12.4 million viewers kept the highest number of viewers in the show’s history. It was then broadcast in CBS for 15 consecutive years. In 2002, 2010 and 2011, the ratings of mysteries exceeded 10 million, but dropped below 5 million since 2015, and 3.27 million after 2018, the worst in history.
In 2019, Victoria’s Secret fashion show was forced to be cancelled due to the continued decline in ratings and sales.
