• Victoria's Secret's Love Cloud collection will be promoted by 18 models from diverse backgrounds.

Victoria's Secret said Friday it is launching a new intimates collection, Love Cloud, that will be promoted by 24-year-old model Sofia Jirau.
Jirau is the first model with Down syndrome to be featured by the intimates retailer. The Puerto Rican-born model, who began modeling three years ago, told the Wall Street Journal that she would love to inspire others.
"Even if they have Down syndrome, they can still model, they can still have jobs," she told the Journal.
Jirau has her own campaign, Sin Limites, that raises awareness about Down syndrome.
The Love Cloud collection, which was created for all day comfort, will be promoted by 18 models of different backgrounds. The campaign focuses on celebrating all women, according to Victoria's Secret.
"With this new line, we are launching high-quality bras and panties in shapes that fit women's daily needs, in our ongoing effort to develop products that champion women and support their individual journeys," said Chief Design Officer Janie Schaffer, in a statement.
Recently, Victoria's Secret has expanded its brand to feature more diverse models like Valentina Sampaio of Brazil, the intimates retailer's first transgender model, is also part of this campaign. There have also been more plus-size hires in recent years, as the company aims to become more inclusive. On Thursday, Victoria's Secret's Pink announced a new plus-size brand ambassador, TikTok star Remi Bader.
The company is looking to be more inclusive because its sales had suffered in recent years as consumers rejected its overly sexualized imagery. Although it had remained the dominant brand in the lingerie category, rivals such as American Eagle's Aerie, Cuup and ThirdLove, were gaining more market share. Last July, it unveiled a comeback plan, which included an apology from its CEO, Martin Waters.
"We got it wrong," Waters said at the time. "We lost relevance with the modern woman."

She's not 'bad looking' for a Downie.

Jake is that you?

 

[Jozef]

She's not what I was expecting, let's just say that lol

 

[Shroom King]

Downies are largely sterile but a quick search shows at least 3 confirmed women impregnated by Tards,

You googled "number of women impregnated by Tards." I need a fucking drink.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Puerto Rican model with Down syndrome

Given the average PR IQ, how can they even tell?

I now understand a lot more about Jennifer Lopez, though.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Someone posted Bleh. I'm late to the party.

 

[JambledUpWords]

She’s better looking than the troon that recently got hired. That isn’t a high bar though because just about anyone is better looking than the troon

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Enjoy the 15 minutes Sofia. You'll be replaced with a troon.

... Unless she becomes a troon herself.

The possibilities for inclusivity are endless!

 

[Jordi El Nino Polla]

She's pretty. And a woman.

I really thought this article was going to be about Victoria's Secret hiring a man. It is only a matter of time and you know it.

 

[Caesare]

In the immortal words of Dave Atelle "She might be retarded but them titties ain't"

I'm guessing most super models are borderline retarded anyway, so it's not a huge leap.

She might be smarter than most models even with her genetic disadvantage.

Victoria's Secret thinks it "lost touch" with modern women, so it hired neutered men, fatties, and potatoes.

Ignoring the troon virtue signal to globohomo, VS thinks 2020s women are chubby retards. Based?!

They already have troons modeling for them

Downs Syndrome affects weight to a degree, lower base metabolic rate or something, but more problematic is the impact on all the necessary skills for keeping at a healthy weight in modern society - planning, discipline, impulse control, all the things that keep you from stuffing your face with cake. She's in better shape than like 80% of American women, and the average person really isn't that much more intelligent than a downie. In total, she'd probably make a better partner than like 2/3 of the people you could pick off the street.

 

[Takodachi]

I had always thought being retarded was a requirement to become a model.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I want a model in a restrained wheelchair. It's current year.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

Not gonna lie, those are some tasty looking tard tiddies.

smash or pass?

Smash, but only if the lights are out and there's zero chance of tard babies.

 

[WonderWino]

Tards like to fuck, and be fucked. It becomes an enormous problem as they age. They should be sterilized and eliminated

Case in point:

 

[Tuxedo_Zemus]

Victoria's secret has it's first down syndrome model.

“We lost relevance with the modern woman.”

Is this a backhanded way to call modern women retards? Modern women are as materialistic as ever. Perhaps your brand lost relevancy with women because you started advertising with hamplanets and men.

On mobile and from a standard viewing distance, the model isn’t bad looking. When you zoom in, things start to become fucky. The first thing I noticed is how large her eyes are. Hypothyroid? Secondly, her mouth is… odd. Zoom in on it and you’ll see what I mean without me trying to explain it. Despite her eyes being large, they are quite pretty. If it wasn’t for her mouth doing whatever it’s doing and if she smiled (or was capable of doing so) normally, I probably wouldn’t pass her off as a tard. Maybe she isn’t, and she’s just a tard model stand-in?
