Victoria's Secret's Pink brand targets Generation Z through collaboration with LoveShackFancy.
Victoria's Secret PINK and LoveShackFancy Collaborate for a Gen Z-Focused Collection
Victoria's Secret PINK and LoveShackFancy have joined forces to create a limited-edition collection, targeting the Gen Z market. This collaboration blends Victoria's Secret PINK's playful, confidence-boosting lifestyle essentials with LoveShackFancy's feminine, vintage-inspired, romantic style.
The collection, which will be available next week, features a range of lounge sets, leggings, dresses, panties, and accessories. Prices will range between $19.95 and $199.95. The collaboration offers fan-favorite styles with LoveShackFancy's signature romantic twist and brings back nostalgic pieces from Pink's archives.
The LoveShackFancy collection offers a fresh take on feminine fashion with a Gen Z twist. It celebrates confidence-boosting style, friendship, fun, and a shared love of pink. The promotional campaign for the collection will star "Gen Z favorites" including Coco Samone and Shannon Zhao, among others.
The partnership is part of Victoria's Secret & Co's strategy to strengthen PINK's appeal to Gen Z. In Q1, the company's net sales were flat compared to the year prior, but the company has been taking steps to capture this demographic's interest. Victoria's Secret & Co has reshaped its stores to highlight the Pink brand, giving it more in-store space, displaying it more prominently, and adding more apparel to its product assortment.
In a Q3 earnings call, CEO Hillary Super noted that the company is focused on attracting Gen Z customers. The collaboration with LoveShackFancy is another bid for this demographic, a priority of the parent company.
The collection will be available next week on both websites, in all LoveShackFancy and Pink stores, and at select global Pink locations. A pop-up event in New York City on Tuesday will precede the official launch, offering exclusive early access, customization options, and immersive experiences celebrating sisterhood and community.
In May, Victoria's Secret & Co implemented a limited-duration shareholder rights plan (poison pill) to fend off investors seeking to take control of the brand. However, the company received a boost when investment firm BBRC International purchased a substantial amount of Victoria's Secret stock.
Despite the challenges faced by the company, CEO Hillary Super expressed optimism about Pink, stating that the brand has "an incredible amount of runway." The collaboration with LoveShackFancy is a testament to this optimism, as the company continues to innovate and adapt to meet the changing needs of its customers.
The collection ranges from XXS to XXL in size. The company's net income rose to $2.8 million, up from its $2.5 million net loss last year. This collaboration and the company's continued focus on Gen Z customers are signs of a promising future for Victoria's Secret & Co.
