Ed Razek, the Man Behind the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Is Leaving the Company

Ed Razek, the longtime Victoria's Secret marketing executive and the man largely credited for its fashion show and crew of Angels, has announced that he's retiring by the end of the month.

He broke the news to his colleagues via an email that L Brands, parent company of Victoria's Secret, shared with Glamour. "With the exception of Les [CEO Les Wexner], I’ve been with L Brands longer than anyone. I’ve loved every minute of it, and every one of you," Razek wrote. "I’ve appreciated your partnership, your energy, your teamwork, and your enthusiasm. You are, every one of you, a joy to work with, and a joy to be with. The best partners anyone could ever hope for. And I’ve loved coming to work here, every single day, for many, many years. But all good things must and do, inevitably, come to an end."

"A few weeks ago, I shared with Les my desire to retire sometime around mid-August. It was a tough conversation to have because, as some of you must know, we have shared so much together for so many years. Including a deep love of this business. Still, it’s time," he continued. "I want to thank all of you for the smiles, the hellos, the laughs, the mission. I could not be more lucky than to have been with all of you at this extraordinary and quite singular organization. I truly hope you know, deep in your hearts, how very special this place is. I do—more than ever."
