A more racially inclusive runway

更具有種族包容性的走秀

Victoria』s Secret has long been criticized for not featuring a more racially diverse lineup of models over the course of the fashion show』s 22-year history.

維秘秀長期以來一直受到批評，因為在過去時裝表演22年的歷史中她沒有展示出更多種族多樣化的模特。

No Asian model has walked the VS runway until 2009, according to Yahoo Style. However, the lingerie giant in recent years has been ramping up its efforts to be inclusive.

根據雅虎的說法，2009年以前在維密秀上沒有一個亞洲模特。然而，近年來，這家內衣巨頭一直在努力實現包容性。

An expanding market in China

市場的擴張

China』s female lingerie market is lucrative with a retail value of 25 billion US dollars in 2017. However, the market is highly fragmented with no major brands leading the way. Currently, a Guangdong-based mass market lingerie brand Cosmo Lady has just a four percent share of the market, revealed Business of Fashion.

女性內衣市場在2017年的零售價值高達250億美元。然而，沒有主要品牌引領市場高度分散。目前，一家位於廣東的大眾內衣品牌Cosmo Lady在市場上佔有4%的市場份額。

As a representative from Victoria』s Secret China told Jing Daily, the brand is feeling "very positive about the potential of the China market," as they expect three stores alone, including the one planned in Beijing, are anticipated to generate 150 million US dollars in annual sales for the 7.78 billion US dollar brand.

來自維多利亞的秘密的代表對京日報說，目前該品牌認為「市場潛力非常樂觀,」，因為他們預計在開三家門店，包括一個計劃在北京開設，預計為此年銷售額達77.8億美元的品牌每年貢獻1.5億美元的份額。

China is expected to equal, if not exceed the US, in sales in the long term, according to this representative.

這位代表說，在長期的銷售中，市場份額即使不超過美國，也將與美國持平。

Efforts to woo Chinese customers

努力吸引客戶

Considering the first Victoria』s Secret model of Asian descent didn』t walk in its fashion show until 2009, and the only two and four Chinese models strutting down the catwalk in 2015 and 2016, this time the six Chinese faces could be reflective of the brand』s growing focus in the Chinese market.

考慮到第一個維密秀的亞裔模特直到2009年才出現，2015年和2016年參加維密秀的模特僅有2名和4名，本次6名模特參加維密秀在一定程度上反映了該品牌對市場的逐漸關注。

As a matter of fact, the retailer』s presence hasn』t started till 2015. Adding to the 26 concept stores in China, which are shops that sold only beauty products and accessories, the company has opened two flagship fully-stocked retail stores in Shanghai and Chengdu in 2017. As the VS China representative suggested, one more store is expected in Beijing later this year.

事實上，直到2015年才開始出現維密零售商。的26家概念店中僅售美容產品及配件。該公司已經在上海和成都開設了兩家全款旗艦店。正如維密代表所建議的，預計今年晚些時候將在北京再開一家門店。

The brand』s additional attempts to woo Chinese consumers are through their dragon-themed outfits throughout its annual fashion show last year.

去年，該品牌在其一年一度的時裝秀上，通過其以龍為主題的服裝來吸引消費者。

Although the show』s so-called Chinese elements fell flat on China』s Internet, with social media users complaining about the "appropriated Chinese culture" and the "ugly bikini outfit", the full video of the show boasted an estimated 162 million viewership compared to last year』s 127 million on Tencent video.

儘管這次show中所謂元素在國內網上罵聲連連，社交媒體用戶抱怨「文化盜用」和「醜陋的比基尼裝」，但估計有1.62億觀眾觀看了那次走秀的完整視頻，而去年在騰訊視頻上的收視率為1.27億。

From this perspective, the Chinese cultural emblems, for example, the dragon wings, have already prevailed angel wings.

從這個角度來看，的文化象徵，例如龍翼，已經優先於天使的翅膀。
