In OUR neighborhood one of the Rabbonim still pats himself on the back claiming that he is responsible for chasing Victoria Secrets out of town. Literally he thinks he is responsible for closing the store because he had a huge campaign againts the store and what he called the pritzus they were displaying in the window. Now the other store that has been here for many years was not spoken about at all, just VS.
We have a frum dress shop here who has a few branches in other frum communities as well. She sells Wedding gowns and other upper class designs. Her windows keep displaying low cut, sleeveless and other non tzniusdik looks on her mannequins and the Rabbi didn’t say anything to her even though in her other store windows she is more careful what she puts in. Not one Rav complained to her that she should be and could be a role model for the young women in the community by showing her creations in a tzniusdik mode. So why VS, after all they are selling undergarments and believe me they were extremely mild in what they put in the window kal v’chomer what this frum lady put in the window was extremely revealing knowing that she knows better. So who is she trying to attract or what is the message she is trying to relay?
Even more so, why bring in low cut and sleeveless gowns when you are selling to a frum community? Why not have the manufacturer build them up for you before shipping them to your store?
