Skinny girls parading in barely there lingerie? I get it. It stands for all that is wrong with society's perception of beauty, and most definitely places a great deal of unwanted pressure on women, especially in terms of keeping up with photoshopped perfection.
Degrading? Maybe. Let's parade in our underwear like pretty little objects, and let viewers own us for a bit. Hyper-sexualised creatures of the runway? Probably.
But, it's fashion - don't take it so seriously! I love watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - fashion, beauty, music - it's completely theatrical and fun. It's a parade of 67 beautiful outfits, 40 pairs of the longest legs, 28 pairs of wings, and a $10 million dollar fantasy bra!
Personally, I treat it like Alice in Wonderland. You idolise the stage that their world is built on, you get lost in the glitter, and you're even charmed by the lace. But, you know that it's not real.
Dip through the fantasy of Victoria's Secret and fall in lust. I certainly have.
