'If VictoriasSecret were to take a stand against these abuses and commit to meaningful change by joining the RESPECT Program, this would go a long way in helping our industry chart a new path forward.'
to Victoria's Secret's Chief Executive John Mehas, demanding the brand sign onto a legally binding commitment to protecting models from sexual harassment and assault.
The letter, spearheaded by the Model Alliance — New York non-profit that advocates for sustainable labor practices in the fashion industry — comes in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, among other reports about powerful men in business and fashion preying upon models.
The petition refers to the reporting around Epstein, which dug up how the billionaire, using his close relationship with L Brands' Leslie Wexner, would pose as a model scout for the brand to lure young women into sex. According the, Wexner would let Epstein use his home to commit the alleged assaults, including his assault of model Alicia Arden. He used the Victoria's Secret ruse to explain to his staff why so many young girls were coming to his home.
Victoria's Secret eventually severed ties with Wexner, but afterwards, the brand continued to work with MC2, a model management agency who's owner Jean-Luc Brunel stands accused of facilitating sex-trafficking for New York elite, including Epstein.
