Victoria’s Secret has removed a newly launched lingerie collection titled Go East from its website, after one particular outfit called Sexy Little Geisha was labelled racist by offended critics.
The “Eastern-inspired” cut-out sheer mesh teddy, which comes with a matching removable obi belt, fan and chopsticks, was described as your ticket to an exotic adventure, by the lingerie giant.
Victoria's Secret, who are yet to release a statement, have tacitly responded to the backlash by redirecting users looking for the product's page, along with the rest of the Go East collection, to the site's main homepage.
