Inclusion controversy involving Victoria's Secret marketing
PINK became part of the broader controversy surrounding Ed Razek's comments about plus-size and transgender models and Victoria's Secret's fashion-show model selection. The issue challenged the inclusivity of the parent company's marketing model and contributed to pressure for change.

Bright Young Things campaign criticism
The Bright Young Things range and campaign drew criticism because slogans such as “call me,” “feeling lucky,” and “wild” were viewed by some observers as inappropriate for a brand associated with teenage and preteen shoppers. A petition calling for discontinuation reportedly attracted more than 24,000 supporters. Victoria's Secret removed the disputed items from its website and said the campaign was intended for college-age women.
