He Went Further
Razek went on to explain why he thinks trans models shouldn’t be in the fashion show. “ 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 .”
Following the backlash that Razek and VS received, trans influencer and beauty brand owner Nikita Dragun gave a public response, mocking Victoria’s Secret ad and tweeting the 35-second video. “Dear Victoria’s Secret, you said trans women can’t sell the ‘fantasy,’ so here I am as a trans woman selling the fantasy,” she stated in her video.
