Victoria’s Secret [IG] rolls out its Very Sexy Spring 2026 campaign with models Abby Champion, Ajok Daing and Celina Ralph.
Victoria’s Secret is doing a slow burn these days. Not a bonfire, mind you, but under CEO Hillary Super, Victoria’s Secret retains the title of the world’s biggest lingerie brand, holding about 20% of the American market, down from 30% a decade ago.
The key word here, my friends, is stability, positivity based on solid reasoning, leadership and results AND Super’s grasp of the importance of a range of emotions in selling lingerie to HER!!

Tong Liya Comes in Peace with T Magazine China Lensed by Hailun Ma
T Magazine China [New York Times] February 2026 issue features actress Tong Liya, styled by Clara Jiang in clothes that honor her home and heritage in Xinjiang.
In the ancient world, travelers and merchants following the path through Liya Tong's home Ili Valley region were on a trajectory that led directly into the heart of Central Asia, where Samarkand stood as one of the most vital hubs. On our journey, we traveled a key corridor that bypassed the formidable Taklamakan Desert by traveling north of the Tianshan Mountains.
I love tossing all these new places at friends and readers — especially when a massive door has opened to Anne of Carversville. In 2026, this is a very special honor, and I am grateful for the trust put in me as a narrator of our collective human stories.

In an action of true humanism, scholars from the Arab world and the West or European world, were joined by Jewish scholars — often bilingual or multilingual — to restore and expand on all the critical knowledge destroyed in the Crusades.
