Row back after transgende­r models slur

-

Victoria’s Secret chief marketing officer has apologised for comments he made about transgende­r models.

In an interview with Vogue magazine, Ed Razek had said the lingerie company’s annual shows were “a fantasy” and should not include them.

Following a backlash on social media, Razek said his remarks were “insensitiv­e”. He added: “To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgende­r model in our show.

“We’ve had transgende­r models come to castings... And like many others, they didn’t make it.”
