Victoria's Secret latest collection is inspired by the world eastern region. In one of the collection are themed underwear 'Geisha'. Dresses in this section consists of Teddy (which resembles underwear swimsuit) obie complete with kimono. Motif underwear that is open like Sakura kimono from Japan.
"Your ticket to an exotic adventure: Teddy sexy with a seductive piece of detail, with floral Asia. Fantasy sexy for you," it says on the description of the clothes the official website of Victoria's Secret.
But soon released, underwear was immediately drawn protests. Victoria's Secret is considered racist and offensive by some Asian women. Many consider, with his new collection, the US-based clothing label that considers women as sex objects mere Asia.
"It's not showing the authentic and humanization of a culture, but rather to make Asian women as sex objects," he protested Racialicious.com in their website. Website for women TheFrisky.com. also thinks the same. "The whole outfit really makes Asian women as objects," they write
Other critics have also sprung up through social networking accounts like Twitter, but not least also the defending. As the tweet @ huniebunnibabi. This "I am Asian, but do not feel insulted," he said.
Although there are defended, but the Victoria's Secret seems to pick the 'safe' to dampen the protests. Quoted from Yahoo UK, Geisha themed collection that was derived from their official website.
