Victoria's Secret reported that it will close 53 stores in North America this year, up from 30 stores last year.
Victoria's Secret has been criticized for a lack of inclusivity, in part because of comments made by the chief marketing officer, Ed Razek, in an interview with Vogue last year.
Brands like Aerie and Rihanna's lingerie Savage X Fenty take a more body-positive approach toward sizing and marketing.
