Prince and Victoria Secret Let me be the first and unapologetic one to ask the question:
With all the lovely photos of Prince in his underwear, How come Prince never collaborated a deal with Victoria Secret underwear? I'm sure he and Victoria Secret would have came up with some perfect choices for men underwear! [Edited 11/27/17 10:01am] | |

Because by the time Victoria's Secret even existed, Prince had put his clothes back on. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Like, the 80s? They were apparently in 400 malls by 1988. Though I guess he'd stopped rocking the G string by then. Prince wasn't huge on those kinds of branded products, huh? Other than the perfume did he really do anything else like that? [Edited 11/27/17 14:35pm] | |

Prince was giving Victoria's Secret as gifts to Sheila and Cat (see also the famous story where he told his assistant to get Boni Boyer a $500 gift instead).
That would be late 1980s They were in our mall at that time -- small Utah town of 70,000. [Edited 11/27/17 14:36pm] Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

Hollywood wants so badly to fight for equality right???? Didn't the symbol mean the joining of man and woman symbols???? Who said Victoria Secret underwear could be limited to just woman's wear!!! It would be an amazing idea if they also designed men's underwear as well!! Don't you think???? Or you don't think because you aren't creative enough to know what I'm talking about! And lastly, nothing is wrong with me! Oh wait I don't need to impress anyone so I'm going to say this! I turned from Nice to BITCH with no fuck given! Learn to deal with it!

You thought you were really making a point here???? You sound as ignorant and racist as your post! Why did this post bother you! It was meant to be a positive statement and because you are extremely negative you turned it into a negative one. [Edited 11/28/17 2:01am] | |

[Edited 11/27/17 22:33pm] Kind of the point of Victoria's Secret is having a place where women can buy their underwear among women. Designing for men (and thus having to share that shopping experience with them) would pretty much ruin that whole vibe. They hire men, but rarely to work the floor. You can shop for your lingerie without the male gaze. Though, fun fact, it originally existed as a place for men to buy underwear FOR the women in their lives, displayed all nice and matching. I did not do well. | |

I've always thought Victoria Secret would have made a cool Prince girl name. | |

I wanted to be a Victoria's Secret model but I'm way too short. I stomp the pathways of my house to Prince's music instead. What? | |

I don't think they let musician perform back then but they could have. Also, Prince was also big on going to fashion show I remember! If you are a fashionista, any fashion shows would be must see!
