Victoria Secret is a trade mark in women wear in the whole world, its sales this year reached 6 billion dollars . it is famous for the annual fashion show that is usually attended by public figures. The show also includes some entertainment , where some singers presents some of their songs .
The founder of this trade mark is Roy Raymond, who graduated form Stanford University, he feels great embarrassment every time he buys women wear for his wife, he doesn't feel comfortable in such stores that presents women wear so openly.
So he decided to put an end for that embarrassment , he studied the market of women wear for 8 years, and then he established his own store in 1977 which he was keen to design it in a comfortable way for men where less are shown in a classic wonderful decoration .
So quickly Raymond could achieve huge sales up to about half million dollars which encouraged him to expand his activity by presenting Victoria Secret stores .
But it didn't work for long because the stores were designed mainly for men . he was about to bankrupt , which forced him to sell his stores to Leisly Wickster, the owner of Columbus Stores LTD, in 1982 . then Raymond tried to start a new project , but he quickly failed and announced his bankruptcy , the thing he couldn't bear to live with , so he committed suicide by jumping from a bridge in 1993 .
At the first glance , we might think that Victoria is the designer of the company, but actually there is no Victoria at all . Raymond only designed his store according to the Victorian Age and called it after the Queen Victoria that's all .
