Netflix is really moving into a new frontier with its reality series. As you recall, earlier this year the network debuted “Rhythm + Flow,” a music competition series to rave reviews. The magic, however, lies in the qualified judges, and in the case of “Next in Fashion” we definitely trust Tun and Alexa!

It is the end of an era! Victoria Secret’s annual Fashion Show has been canceled for 2019. It is rumored Rihanna’s Fenty Fashion show may be a deciding factor.

L Brands, the parent company of the lingerie retailer, has officially canceled the 2019 show. “We’ll be communicating to customers, but nothing that I would say is similar in magnitude to the fashion show,” CFO Stuart Burgdoerfer said during the company’s third quarter earnings call. The brand said the decision was part of a move to “evolve the marketing of Victoria’s Secret.”

“Given the decline in performance at Victoria’s Secret, we have substantially pulled back on capital investment in that business while we focus on ensuring that our merchandise resonates with customers,” L Brands said in its Q3 earnings report.

USA TODAY has reached out to L Brands for comment.

In May, the brand said it would be rethinking the show.

In a statement sent to the company’s associates at the time and obtained by USA TODAY, Les Wexner, CEO of L Brands, the parent company of the lingerie brand, revealed this year’s show is going in a different direction.

Rihanna’s ‘Savage X Fenty’, however, has only grown in popularity and revenue, taking over much of Victoria’s Secrets fan base. Perhaps this is just a blip and the fashion show will return in 2020. Either way the brand is going to have to up the ante to regain its customers. The fashion show really has been on the decline over the years. Yes, we like seeing beautiful women in lingerie and angel wings, but even that gimmick runs out soon. Where is the next level in the fashion of lingerie? Maybe the look of the traditional Victoria’s Secret model needs to be re-imagined. Maybe a thicker woman of color? It is a thought!

They say you have turn “lemons into lemonade,” and in A$AP Rocky’s case you turn a near prison term into a business venture! It is being reported the rapper has designed new wardrobes and uniforms for Swedish prisoners ahead of returning to the country to headline a show at the Ericsson Globe venue in Stockholm.

The show, set for December 11th, will also include a selection of Swedish artists, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Swedish Network of Refugee Support Groups non-profit.

Now, per a Forbes breakdown of Rocky’s recent conversation with Summit co-founder Jeff Rosenthal at the Orpheum in Los Angeles, we have more insight on Rocky’s plans for the region following his extended legal battle earlier this year.

“When I was going through my whole situation, the whole time I used to look on television and see Swedish fans showing me so much love and I want to give it back,” Rocky recalled, adding that “most of the proceeds” from performances in the country will be donated to “inmates and prison reformation.”

Forbes also said that Rocky has designed “new wardrobe and uniforms” for Kronobergshäktet, the prison in Sweden where he was held following his arrest this summer.

“I’m trying to do what I can with what I can, I just want to keep creating and encouraging whoever is after me to do it better,” Rocky said.

Elsewhere, Rocky discussed the importance of authenticity in fashion and how his well-documented introduction to psychedelics bettered his life. “They opened my third eye and made me more attuned,” he said. “It was a way to love more, it helped me open up my heart.”

We are glad to see Rocky has been able to make the most out of this situation, and earn some coins in return. Perhaps this is one of those situations where everything happens for a reason.
