【摘要2021.9.17.五.自由】◎張沛元

Less than two years after Victoria’s Secret pulled the plug on its star-studded annual fashion show, known for runway looks that combined strappy lingerie with enormous wings, the brand is retiring its supermodel "Angels" for good.

眾星雲集、伸展台上以結合綁帶內衣與巨大翅膀（的天使）聞名的「維多利亞的秘密」年度時裝秀喊卡不到2年後，該品牌要讓超級名模（扮演的）「天使們」永遠退休。

Taking their place is a new group of seven ambassadors, called the "VS Collective," who are known for their advocacy work in gender equality and body positivity, and who represent a wider range of body types and sexual and gender identities.

取而代之的是一個被稱為「維密組合」的7人大使新團體，成員皆以致力倡導性別平等與正面身體價值觀聞名，以及代表各種身體類型、性向認同與性別認同。

The collective － which includes soccer player Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas and plus-size model Paloma Elsesser － will work on new product lines and multimedia content, as well as supporting women’s causes for the company, according to a press release.

根據新聞稿，這個包括足球員梅根．拉皮諾、女星皮豔卡．喬普拉以及大尺碼模特兒芭洛瑪．艾爾賽斯的組合，將從事新的產品線與多媒體內容等方面的工作，以及支援該公司的女性理念。
