Conversation with Authors Lauren Sherman and Chantal Fernandez
Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American Icon
12:00 pm-1:00 pm EST

The Retail Marketing Society is thrilled to present a conversation with Lauren Sherman and Chantal Fernandez, the authors of Selling Sexy: Victoria’s Secret and The Unraveling of an American Icon.

During this virtual conversation, the authors will provide their insights on the rise of Victoria’s Secret from a tiny chain of boutiques to a retail phenomenon with more than $8 billion in annual sales at its peak before the brand’s tight grip on the industry finally slipped. Lauren and Chantal will highlight perspectives from their interviews with VS leaders and partners on the successes and stumbles of the iconic brand, and you’ll hear how Victoria’s Secret has made an important strategic pivot to regain the love and
trust of its customers.
This webinar will be moderated by RMS Member Ken Hewes who is President of Mōd Advisors LLC and a veteran retail strategist who worked closely with CEO Les Wexner and his executive team on Victoria’s Secret brand architecture.
