The Victoria’s Secret Pipeline: How Models Became Commodities
The veneer of glamour that clings to the Victoria’s Secret brand has long been seductive. For decades, its runways were global spectacles, its models cultural icons, and its branding synonymous with aspiration. But within the unsealed Epstein-Maxwell files, a far darker current runs beneath the lace and lighting—a commodification pipeline where young women were not discovered, but recruited, processed, and leveraged in ways that blur the line between fashion and predation.
At the center of this machinery stands Les Wexner, the billionaire architect behind Victoria’s Secret, whose documented financial and personal proximity to Jeffrey Epstein was never merely incidental. The documents detail how Epstein gained power-of-attorney over Wexner’s affairs—an arrangement so unusually intimate and expansive that even financial insiders have described it as without precedent. That power, it appears, extended beyond bank accounts. It helped Epstein project credibility and power in elite circles.
