All about Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret was founded in 1972, but the company didn't really hit its stride until the 1990's when it began to use hot supermodels to show off its sexy line of lingerie.

Today, Victoria's Secret is a pop culture phenomenon that has given American women permission to strut, look sexy, and still retain their wholesome "naughty but nice girl" image.

Victoria's Secret has a flag-ship store in New York City's Herald Square and 1,000 outlets nationwide, but gets most of its promotion done via their thriving mail order catalog, Victoria's Secret Direct.

Sales of gift certificates, in particular, are driven with nationwide airing of the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show during the holiday season.
