Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel pulls back the curtain on Victoria's Secret in a way that makes you realize how little you actually knew about one of America's most recognizable brands. Co-hosted by journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis and Justine Harman, the twelve-episode series traces the company's rise from a struggling San Francisco lingerie shop to a cultural juggernaut that shaped how an entire generation of women thought about beauty and desirability. The storytelling is structured chronologically but keeps circling back to two central figures. Les Wexner, the reclusive billionaire who ran the brand for over 35 years, and Jeffrey Epstein, whose relationship with Wexner remains one of the most disturbing connections in modern corporate history. The show doesn't sensationalize those ties — it builds the case methodically through interviews with former models, executives, and industry insiders who saw what happened behind the scenes. Produced by C13Originals (a Cadence13 studio) in partnership with Campside Media, the production quality is sharp throughout. Vanessa brings serious investigative chops as a longtime features journalist, and Justine's background in fashion media gives the reporting an insider perspective that a general-assignment reporter couldn't replicate. Episodes run about 40 minutes each, and the pacing rarely drags. Fallen Angel works because it treats Victoria's Secret as more than just a brand story. It's a lens for examining how corporate power, celebrity culture, and exploitation intersected for decades in plain sight. The series wrapped as a single complete season, making it an ideal binge listen from start to finish.
