Quite a lot has been going on:
Even in France, lingerie shifts from sexy to comfortable - France 24
It might have a reputation as the birthplace of sexy lingerie, but even in France titillation is taking second place to comfort and practicality.
The very word "lingerie" is a French export -- used from Japan to Holland to Brazil -- but France has been slow to adapt to a changing mood in the global industry which no longer treats expensive underwear primarily as a weapon of seduction.
The shift has been noticeable in recent years in other Western countries, measured most notably in declining sales at Victoria's Secret, the US store that brought sexy lingerie to the mass market in the 1970s and then made billions worldwide by promoting images of impossible physical perfection.
Victoria's Secret may leave Chicago's Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue
Another longtime fixture on North Michigan Avenue, Victoria’s Secret, could be joining the growing line of retailers leaving the boulevard.
The lingerie seller’s landlord is seeking a new tenant to take over its store at 734 N. Michigan Ave., confirmed Jones Lang LaSalle broker Peter Caruso, who has been hired to re-lease the 23,000-square-foot space. Victoria’s Secret has been on the Magnificent Mile since the mid-1990s, moving to its current location in 2010.

Lake County sheriff's police pulled over Rice on Feb. 20, 2019, after she suspiciously circled several blocks in Gary and quickly went inside a home on 19th Avenue. During the traffic stop, she turned over 0.3 grams of heroin to police and admitted she had just purchased it.
