VS PINK has initially selected 33 top universities based on their regional
appeal and large student and alumni populations. VS PINK worked with existing
collegiate licensees to develop the product and to gain access to campus
retail channels such as bookstores and event sales, providing a tremendous
amount of growth potential for the VS PINK Collegiate Collection.

Secret PINK magalog. The Collegiate Collection includes 9 different items,
including fleece pants, hoodies, panties, tees, and totes and will be
available in approximately 375 stores, many of which are in close proximity to
the universities in the program. Starting on June 20, Victoriassecret.com
will have a selection of items available for all schools.
