Victoria’s secrets

VICTORIA BECKHAM ON…

Victoria’s secrets

PERSONAL STYLE

“I think it’s about being appropriate and realistic: dressing in a way that suits your age and body shape. Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate things. I think it was Coco Chanel who said, ‘Before leaving the house take one thing off, whether it’s a pair of earrings or an accessory’.”

INSPIRATION

“I go with my gut instinct with everything. I tend to do something new when I can’t find what I want. That’s why I started a dress collection and my denim line.”

HER IRISH FANS

“Irish women are very fashion-forward. They understand fashion and they’re very chic. It makes my job very easy.”

FAMILY

“There’s definitely an element of my life that goes into what I do. Last season there was a sporty influence and that was from Romeo’s baseball shirt and the hats came from David’s cool beanies.”

THE VB MUSE

“I’m very lucky that as a designer I’m in a position where I don’t have to compromise. I’m designing clothes that I want to wear and handbags that I want to carry. I’ve stood on many a red carpet and I think I know how women want to feel. I just want to make them feel empowered.”

ACCESSORIES

“I love sunglasses and with four children who keep me up during the night, they hide a multitude of sins which is always quite a bonus!”

A CHILDREN’S COLLECTION?

“At some point I would love to but at the moment I haven’t got the time. My kids and David are my priority. Then I have two clothing lines plus the denim, handbags and sunglasses and I’m also about to launch an optical collection. I’m pretty busy but never say never.”
