The Victoria’s Secret show is back. Well, back in 2025 without a specific location, show sponsors or a list of top models walking in the show.
Victoria’s Secret released a teaser on the brand’s Instagram account. Victoria’s Secret new executive creative director Adam Selman will have a big challenge topping the Victoria’s Secret 2024 show that had appearances by Cher and Tyra Banks. Add supermodels Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Imaan Hammam, Anok Yai, and other top models and you have a comeback show that rivaled the best Victoria’s Secret shows.
Adam Selman is best known for dressing Rihanna in the legendary Swarovski crystal dress at the 2014 CFDA Awards. Most recently Selman worked for the Fenty X Savage powerhouse, where he helped shift the narrative around lingerie with size-inclusive, gender-fluid loungewear. Stay tuned!!

Potential change at Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs and his fashion brand have had a significant run. After three decades in the industry, Jacobs’ namesake brand may be on the chopping block.
According to the New York Post, Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), which is the holding company of Marc Jacobs’ brand, is looking to sell Jacobs for over a billion dollars. LVMH is in conversation with holding companies Authentic Brands, Bluestar Alliance, and WHP Global for this purchase.
LVMH has had a 9% drop in fashion and leather goods sales in Q2 of 2025. “We will not keep brands if we believe they are not a good add-on, or if we are not the right operator to operate them,” LVMH CFO Cécile Cabanis told investors last week during Thursday’s earnings call, as reported in voguebusiness.com.
“As a designer, Marc Jacobs is one of the industry’s pre-eminent culture engines,” Mellery-Pratt says. “Very few designers can claim to have dramatically influenced the zeitgeist in every decade since the 1980s. From his entertainment-first TikTok strategy to the launch of its Gen Z-focused sub-label Heaven, the Juergen Teller campaign of Victoria Beckham in a carrier bag, the grunge collection at Perry Ellis, all of his work at Louis Vuitton with Stephen Sprouse and Murakami — the list goes on.”
