Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s Post

Last weekend, VS&Co attended the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans, an annual event celebrating beauty, health, wellness, and entrepreneurship. We hosted a panel discussion with our Chief Diversity Officer Lydia Smith, MBA and Technical Designer Alix Bazelais that was moderated by the Founder and CEO of BrainTrust Kendra Bracken-Ferguson. During the session, we highlighted our commitment to listening to consumers to create a welcoming environment and develop products that meet their needs. This dedication is reflected in our recent revamp of popular panty styles, informed by over 900 hours of testing and insights from more than 600 women. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the panel session and product testing event! You made our first Essence Fest truly unforgettable.

Thank you to all associates who participated and supported Pride programming this year. We extend a special thank you to our IRG EVOLVE for planning and leading impactful events. #LifeatVS #FindYourPerfectFit #Pride
