Doutzen Kroes Sp 2020 Lingerie | Did Kroes Leave VS Over Alleged Razek Misogyny?
/
The always elegant environmentalist, feminist, and super family-first, global citizen role model Doutzen Kroes continues her long-term association with Netherlands-based lingerie Brand Hunkemoller.
The non-bombshell mood of her deeply-sensual images strikes a chord, as a question mark about Doutzen’s abrupt departure — along with Karlie Kloss’ — as Victoria’s Secret Angels comes under reconsideration.
Doutzen Kroes Abrupt Departure from Victoria’s Secret in 2015
Doutzen, Karlie, Candice — the top Victoria’s Secret Angels know if they really were ‘Angels’ in Hell, working in a culture of misogyny, as the New York Times suggests. Frankly, the earlier Miranda Kerr departure also warrants reconsideration.
Knowing the brand inside inside-out as its former fashion director and head of product development, I always assumed that Doutzen and Karlie Kloss abruptly left the brand over brand-positioning issues. Karlie has called the brand anti-feminist and actually so has Doutzen.
After reading Sunday’s New York Times expose ‘Angels’ in Hell: The Culture of Misogyny Inside Victoria’s Secret’, I see that conditions for the models — led by then CMO Ed Razek with apparent support from Chairman Les Wexner — and a major assist from Jeffrey Epstein — created a degrading work culture for the Victoria’s Secret models.
