The company confirmed to _TIME_ on Wednesday that Singer, who formerly worked at Spanx, will be stepping down from her role after leading at the L Brands owned lingerie company for two years. Singer’s departure follows declining sales for the lingerie giant, who has suffered as more inclusive brands such as [Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty](http://time.com/5389428/rihanna-nyfw-2018/ "undefined"), Aerie, and Third Love have captured the interest and wallets of younger shoppers. According to [_CNBC_](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/14/victorias-secret-ceo-jan-singer-to-step-down.html "undefined"), shares of L Brands are on the decline.
