“What was your reaction to the rumors that Victoria’s Secret may not have a fashion show this year.”

Kate Upton heard the caller’s question well and came forth with this answer. It actually in a way puts Victoria’s Secrets in a bad light. She said:

“We’re sick of seeing the same body types, you have to be body inclusive now. Every woman needs to be represented or else it’s just a snoozefest.”

Kate is for inclusion and she further added:

“I thought it was important because we’re surrounded by so much retouching, social media, filters, and we have lost touch with what is real, what’s not real.”

Kate was with Victoria’s Secrets for some time before she quit them. She has been a model on three occasions for SI Swimsuit cover.

Victoria’s Secrets holds an annual fashion show every year where it showcases its various lingerie and sleepwear. The company is the sponsor for it and it is through this show that it promotes its products in high-profile settings. It is an extremely lavish event with ramp walks, music, and set designs. 20-40 fashion models perform at this annual affair which many celebrities attend. The event is aired on TV. In 1999 and 2000, it was webcast.

“Unfortunately Victoria’s Secret show won’t be happening this year. It’s something I’m not used to because every year around this time I’m training like an angel.”
