VICTORIA’S SECRET HISTORY:
“Victoria's Secret was founded by Tufts University and Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond, and his wife Gaye, in San Francisco, California on June 12, 1977. Eight years prior to founding Victoria's Secret, Raymond was embarrassed when purchasing lingerie for his wife at a department store. Newsweek reported him looking back on the incident from the vantage of 1981: ‘When I tried to buy lingerie for my wife,’ he recalls, ‘I was faced with racks of terry-cloth robes and ugly floral-print nylon nightgowns, and I always had the feeling the department-store saleswomen thought I was an unwelcome intruder.’
During the 1970s and 1980s, most women in America purchased ‘dowdy’, ‘pragmatic’, ‘foundation garments’ by Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, and Jockey in packs of three from department stores and saved ‘fancier items’ for "special occasions like honeymoons. Lacy thongs and padded push-up bras were niche products during this period found alongside feathered boas and provocative pirate costumes at Frederick's of Hollywood, outside of the main stream product offerings available at department stores.
Raymond studied the lingerie market for eight years before borrowing $40,000 from his parents and $40,000 from a bank to establish Victoria's Secret: a store men could feel comfortable buying lingerie. The company's first store was located in Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California. Victoria's Secret grossed $500,000 in its first year of business…
In April 1982, Raymond sent out his 12th catalogue; each catalogue cost $3. Catalogue sales now accounted for 55% of the company's $7 million annual sales. The Victoria's Secret stores at this time were ‘a niche player’ in the underwear market. The business was described as ‘more burlesque than Main Street.’ Raymond's philosophy of focusing on selling lingerie to male customers became increasingly unprofitable and Victoria's Secret headed for bankruptcy. In 1982, it had grown to six stores, a 42-page catalogue, and was grossing $6 million annually. Raymond sold Victoria's Secret Inc. to Leslie Wexner, creator of Limited Stores Inc of Columbus, Ohio, for $1 million.
In 1983, Leslie Wexner revamped Victoria's Secret. He discarded the money-losing model of selling lingerie to male customers and replaced it with one that focused on women. Victoria's Secret transformed from ‘more burlesque than Main Street’ to a mainstay that sold broadly accepted underwear. The ‘new colors, patterns and styles that promised sexiness packaged in a tasteful, glamorous way and with the snob appeal of European luxury’ were supposed to appeal to and appease female buyers. To further this image, the Victoria's Secret catalog continued the practice that Raymond began: listing the company's headquarters on catalogs at a fake London address, with the real headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The stores were redesigned to evoke 19th century England…The lingerie business was changing fast. In the five years after the purchase, The Limited had transformed a three store boutique into a 346 store retailer…In October that year, the Los Angeles Times reported that Victoria's Secret was stealing market share from department stores; in 1986, Victoria's Secret was the only national chain of lingerie stores. The New York Times reported on Victoria's Secret's rapid expansion from four stores in 1982 to 100 in 1986…
In 1990…sales had quadrupled to $120 in four years, making it one of the fastest growing mail-order businesses…Victoria's Secret also released their own line of fragrances in 1991…Victoria's Secret introduced the Miracle Bra selling two million within the first year…In 1999, the company aimed to increase its coverage with Body by Victoria.
In 2000, Turney began to redefine Victoria's Secret catalog….to one that would appeal to an ‘upscale customer who now feels more comfortable buying La Perla or Wolford lingerie.’; ‘dimming the hooker looks’ such as ‘tight jeans and stilettos’; and moving from ‘a substitute for Playboy in some dorm rooms,’ to something closer to a Vogue lifestyle layout, where lingerie, sleepwear, clothes and cosmetics appear throughout the catalog.
Beginning in 2000, Grace Nichols, CEO of Victoria's Secret Direct, led a similar change at Victoria's Secret's stores - moving away from an evocation of 1800s England (or a Victorian bordello). By 2006, Victoria's Secret's 1,000 stores across the United States accounted for one third of all purchases in the intimate apparel industry…”
