Victoria's Secret models address industry challenges and disappearance

Former Victoria's Secret models from the 1990s are speaking out about the dark side of the modeling industry. While securing a contract with the brand often signifies professional success and global recognition, some prominent figures have disappeared from the spotlight under tragic circumstances.

Reports highlight issues including sexism, ageism, unfair working conditions, abuse, coercion, and drug use within the industry. One notable example is Karen Mulder, who achieved significant fame walking for brands like Christian Dior and Chanel before signing with Victoria's Secret in 1992. Mulder, who famously launched the brand's first pair of angel wings on the runway in 1998, later spoke about experiencing mistreatment.
