Could AI replace Savage X Fenty's business?

The call

Savage X Fenty still has the brand and the stores, but its old advantage over Victoria's Secret is gone and no permanent CEO has been named in over a year.

Savage X Fenty makes and sells inclusive lingerie under Rihanna's name, with physical stores and wholesale partners. It was hard to compete with because Victoria's Secret was stuck selling one look while Savage X welcomed everyone else, but Victoria's Secret just hired Savage X's former CEO and is copying that exact strategy, and Kim Kardashian's Skims is getting five times more investment and expanding faster. The company needs a permanent leader in place and proof it can grow without relying on discounts and billing tricks, or it will keep sliding backward against better-funded rivals.

Why

AI pressure: AI shopping agents (Amazon Rufus, ChatGPT shopping plugins). AI agents that compare prices and fit across brands could weaken subscription lock-in and brand loyalty over time. Could AI do the core job? Only partly.

Bigger players: Victoria's Secret & Co. under Hillary Super. Savage X's former CEO now runs VS and is rebuilding its inclusive positioning, closing the gap Savage X once owned alone. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.

What protects it. Rihanna's cultural pull, ~14 stores plus wholesale doors, and TechStyle's subscription/fulfillment infrastructure.

What would change this call

Savage X Fenty names a permanent CEO within 12 months of July 2026. Would signal board/Rihanna confidence in stabilizing the brand's trajectory.
Victoria's Secret discloses market-share gains or revenue acceleration under Hillary Super by early 2027. Would confirm VS is actively winning back customers Savage X once took.
Outcome of Maxwell v. Lavender Lingerie class action (settlement or ruling) by late 2026. Would show whether membership/billing practices are unraveling under legal pressure.
