“When the world was changing, we were too slow to respond,” said Martin Waters, chief executive of the brand, in an interview to The New York Times. “We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want.”
“I am most excited for new customers and for those who have always been a customer of Victoria’s Secret, to feel represented and like they belong,” Chopra said in the release.
