Victoria's Secret has reportedly hired its first transgender model.
In a story from Fox News and other outlets, model Valentina Sampaio, a Brazilian model and actress, posted on Instagram with various hasthtags including "#vspink, #campaign and #diversity, among others.
She is 22-years-old.
That comes a year after Chief Marketing Officer of the company, Ed Razek, in various media including W Magazine, explained why the company doesn't use transgender or plus size models-- a move he came under fire for.
"Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should," he said in the W Magazine article from November 2018. "Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at us because we’re the leader."
He apologized later on.
