On February 5, 1999, the popular fashion brand Victoria's Secret, famous mainly for its underwear collections, held its first annual online show - it was a presentation of the spring collection. The event attracted around 1,5 million viewers, and despite the certain immaturity of the technology at the time, it was considered one of the first successful public online broadcasts of its kind. The 21-minute show featured supermodel Tyra Banks, for example, and was broadcast on the Victoria's Secret domain, which at the time had only been in operation for less than two months.
