"Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret was founded in 1977 by a guy named Roy Raymond who wanted a place where he could buy lingerie for his wife without feeling like a perv. A year later, Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret was a hit, and Raymond launched a mail-order business with the first-ever Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret catalog.

The &amp;#039;00s and Today By the early 2000s, the Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret catalog was known almost as much for clothing and swimwear as it was for lingerie, featuring affordable versions of all the hottest &amp;#039;00s trends, like pastel velour track suits and lace-up leopard blouses.
