Of her newfound obsession, Lopez said: “I love Italy—the people, the fashion, the culture, the food, and the storied history. When I discovered Intimissimi, I was immediately drawn to their precious silks, romantic lace, beautiful cuts, flattering fits, and intricate designs. I’m proud to be an Intimissimi woman and honored that they view me as someone who emulates their own qualities of confident, lively, and strong.” Consider us sold! Discover the new collection here.

According to Page Six, the news was announced during a 2022 earnings call on Friday.

Victoria’s Secret CFO, Timothy Johnson, is reported as saying: “We’re going to continue to lean into the marketing spend to invest in the business, both at top-of-funnel and also to support the new version of our fashion show, which is to come later this year.” In a statement shared with Page Six Style, a Victoria’s Secret rep said the event will double down on the brand’s “commitment to championing women’s voices and their unique perspectives” as it continues on its journey to re-evaluate its position in the market. The statement continued: “As we’ve previously shared, our new brand projection and mission will continue to be our guiding principle. This will lead us into new spaces like reclaiming one of our best marketing and entertainment properties to date and turning it on its head to reflect who we are today. We’re excited to share more later this year.” Watch this space!
